    Shane got to know Gillian through musicals and plays they were in at school. Then in 2000, they met up again in a nightclub in Sligo and decided to go out with each other! Gillian accompanied Shane to the World Of Our Own album launch press conference, but she hid in the audience and Shane wouldn't reveal who she was to the press. Gillian is keen to keep her private life private. Shane says he is in love with her without a shadow of a doubt. He is always sending her flowers. Shane took Gillian to Dubai in December 2002, got down on one knee and proposed to her on the beach underneath the stars! Oh how romantic!

    wedding
     



    Shane Filan Gillian Walsh December 28th, 2003

    WESTLIFE'S Shane Filan said he was ''the luckiest guy in the world'' as he wed his childhood sweetheart .

    Guests, including Irish Prime Minister Bertie Ahern, watched as Shane and Gillian Walsh exchanged vows at Ballintubber Abbey, County Mayo.

    Dressed in white, Shane joked with bandmates Kian Egan and Mark Fehilly as his bride turned up late.

    When Gillian, wearing an embroideredwhite dress arrived at the altar, he whispered to her: ''You look amazing.''

    Afterwards, Shane said: ''Looking at Gillian at the altar was the best moment of my life. I was welling up during the service.

    ''I feel like the luckiest guy in the world and everything went according to plan.

    ''It was great to go out there and wave to the fans and also see all our friends and family enjoying our big day.

    ''Gillian felt like a princess and looked like one too.''


    Last night, guests enjoyed a wedding banquet at nearby Ashford Castle.

    Westlife singer Shane Filan has been celebrating his marriage to his childhood sweetheart at one of Ireland's most exclusive hotels.
    Shane wed Gillian Walsh at historic Ballintubber Abbey in County Mayo on Sunday.

    They later celebrated along with more than 350 guests in the lakeside splendour of the nearby Ashford Castle hotel.
    It was reported that Shane had popped the question while he and Gillian were on holiday together in Dubai last year.

    His elder brother Finbar acted as best man whilst The Conway Sisters sang at the ceremony in Ballintubber, which dates back to the 13th century, and was once left a wreck by the army of Oliver Cromwell.

    The event marked the first Westlife wedding since last summer's occasion in a French village, when Nicky Byrne married Georgina, one of Irish Prime Minister Bertie Ahern's two daughters.

    It was reported that the couple had struck a $1m (£622,000) deal with celebrity magazine Hello! to cover the ceremony.

    About 200 of Westlife's noisy, but devoted following stood in the cold weather outside the Abbey on Sunday to catch a glimpse of the band and cheer them into and out of the church.

    Like his bride, Shane was dressed in white and the happy couple arrived for the ceremony in a white, horse-drawn coach.

    Announcement from Shane

    Hi everyone
    You've probably all heard the news by now, but I wanted to let you know personally that Gillian and I are having another baby!

    I can't even begin to describe how amazing we're both feeling right now - as you can imagine, we're completely over the moon and Nicole is very excited at the thought of having a little brother or sister to play with.

    The baby is due in September, so quite a while to go yet, although I'm sure it'll fly by really quickly. Gillian's bump is growing by the day and she's extremely happy and healthy.

    I look forward to introducing the new member of the Filan clan to you later in the year!

    Love Shane.

    Baby joy for Westlife's Shane Filan

    The couple already have a three-year-old daughter named Nicole.

    The Irish Daily Star reports that mother and son are doing well and are believed to be in Sligo General Hospital.
     
     
     
    Patrick Filan christening
    23 October 2008 - Shane Filan showed off his beautiful new baby Patrick for the first time today exclusively in the Irish Daily Mirror. The 29 year old shunned a series of big money magazine offers to stick with his favourite newspaper and posed with stunning wife Gillian, daughter Nicole and Patrick athis christening. Until today Shane has kept the baby under wraps since he was born on 15 September.
     



    Gillian also 29 was back to her sexy best at the christening in Sligo and Shane looked hot in a designer suit and joined friends and family for the christening. "Gillian looked great and little Patrick was fantastic throughout the service. He took it all in his stride". "I feel like the luckiest man alive to have an adorable son and daughter. Gillian and I have to keep pinching ourselves".
    Shane and his bandmates have taken a year off to concentrate on their families after a decade at the top. And the singer, who confessed he has never been busier, added: "I thought I would be twiddling my thumbs but think it is pretty hectic. "Having two kids is incredible but a lot of work. It's great that I can be at home more to help Gillian out". One guest said "Gillian looked like a million dollars. She has really got her figure back and was absolutely glowing. Shane couldn't stop smiling and you can tell just to look at them that they are happier than ever.

    Interview with Shane about Gillian

    December 2001



    Little more than an hour earlier I had watched in astonishment as 12,000 girls scream themselves hoarse for Shane and the rest of westlife. Almost any of them would have done anything to spend the night with one of their idol. But there is only one woman Shane is interested in. She is Gillian Walsh, the bright and gentle Irish girl he has tried to keep secret for more than a year. But as we sit chatting in his hotel room with Shane still buzzing with exctitement from the Sheffield Arena gig, there are no secrets anymore. He wants to talk about how they 1st kissed, how he told her he loved her and his hopes one day they will settle down and have children.

    " I knew I loved her more or less straight away" says Shane 22, shatterring a million teenage dreams. "She has such a great personality and is the most amazing person I have ever met."

    When i first met Shane, the youngest of 7 children, he had a boyish charm, and talked enthusiastically about everything. 3 years on his passions or still singing and performing, but now there is Gillian, too. All the attention from women could of turned him into a vain egomaniac, but his modesty shrugs off his appeal. Sittimg curled up in an arm chair, wearing jeans and an old t-shirt, he has filled out since our 1st meeting, but he has an air of innocence that belies the experiences he has gained in Westlife.

    A week talk, Gillian also 22 quielty sorts through a pile of clothes. She is happy to stay out of the limelight. But Shane says it was he, not she, who insisted on total secrecy for the 1st year now he wants the world to know. He says "I needed to have a more normal relationship. We kept it quiet for ages, and it was driving me mad coz we couldnt walk down street holding hands".

    They still do not like to pose for phototgraphs together. And Gillian in the final year of a bussiness studies degree, keeps a discreet distance when he is working. Shane has known Gillian, a cousin of fellow bandmate Kian Egan, since childhood. But it was only more recently that it became serious. He says, "I fancied her for an awful long ime, but didn't tell her. I didnt kiss her for ages because I didnt want to come on too strong. The 1st time I kissed her was...oh, my God, it was amazing, we had just gone on our 1st proper date, to the cinema. It was just a quick kiss, but long enough for her to hopefully want some more and she did."

    "Things got better and better, and i started thinking she is the one we had been together for about 4 months when I wanted to tell her I loved her. I didn't know how to do it so I just said I had a secret. I kept her guessing for a few weeks. She was dying to get it out of me. Then she said she had a secret too. One night i said I'll tell u my secret if u tell me yours. We agreed and I told her 'I love you' She told hers was that she loved me too. It was one of the best moments ever, I'll never forget it."

    Will he marry her? "I definately hope so one day," he says well that's blown it. "I cant see myself ever being happy with out her. I call her the perfect package . She is the girl of my dreams in every sense.

    Happy 6th Wedding Anniversary Shane & Gillian

    Baby joy for Shane and Gillian Filan.


    Twelve days early and catching his parents by surprise, Shane Filan junior made the sort of entrance his famous dad would have been proud of.

    "He certainly didn't keep us waiting. He wasn't due until early February, and up until 8 p.m. last Friday there was no sign he was on his way. But an hour and a half later, he was here," Westlife's Shane told THE SLIGO CHAMPION, describing the early arrival of his third child, a brother for Nicole (4) and Patrick (18 months).

    "There was no panic or anything like that, but we certainly weren't expecting it. Gillian started having pains at about eight o'clock, we went straight to Sligo General, and the baby was born exactly one hour and thirty-four minutes later," he explained.

    Weighing in at 6 lbs 9 ounces, the new arrival will be named Shane Peter, after both his father and grandfather. The couple's first son was named Patrick Michael, after Gillian's dad.

    "It's a family tradition to name children after fathers and grandfathers, so we're just following that really. I suppose I've always wanted a son named Shane, so I'm thrilled about that," the singer added.

    He was singing the praises of the staff in the maternity department at Sligo General, who made sure everything went very smoothly.

    "They were all fantastic. Our gynaecologist, Dr. Heather Langan, made sure all ran smoothly, and midwife, Carol, who helped deliver Shane, was a real angel. Everything happened so quickly, and we were all really well looked after," Shane added.

    With three children under five years of age, it will be a busy household, particularly as Shane has a hectic summer schedule of concerts lined up with Westlife.

    "We'll certainly have our hands full for a while, but we love it," he said. And is that the full set?

    "You'd better ask Gillian that question --it certainly is for now!"

    Wednesday December 29 2010

    THERE was plenty of celebration in the Filan household yesterday as Westlife singer Shane and his wife Gillian celebrated their seventh wedding anniversary.

    The Diary can reveal how the couple, who wed at a star-studded ceremony in Ballintubber Abbey, Co Mayo, planned an intimate bash with close friends last night to mark the milestone.

    The high-profile pair have been together for over ten years, with Shane explaining that the couple now put more focus on meaningful gifts when it comes to celebrations.

    "At the start we used to spend money, but you soon get bored of that and it's far more meaningful to put thought and effort into something," Shane explained.

    "I'd rather have a gift that cost nothing and had loads of thought put into it."

    The singer also revealed how this Christmas was particularly significant for the family as it was their first year with new baby, Shane Peter.

    The tot, who has two older siblings, Nicole and Patrick, will turn one on January 22.

    "It was the first Christmas with Shane Junior so it was a big Santa Claus Christmas this year," he said.

    "We had a traditional day and all the trimmings. The whole family came over from all corners of Sligo, so there was a great atmosphere in the Filan household."

    The busy popstar has plenty of big plans for 2011, including a €5m development in his home town of Sligo.

    Shane owns a property development company called Shafin, alongside his brother Finbarr, and the pair are hoping to buck the recession by building a neighbourhood centre.

    The building will be anchored by a large supermarket and will also contain five retail units and two takeaway outlets.



    WESTLIFE'S Shane Filan is on the verge of signing a six-figure deal with a new record company.

    The Diary can reveal how the Sligo crooner was popping the champagne at Cheltenham Festival after talks with a string of big labels.

    In what will be his first solo deal without his chart-topping bandmates, he said he'll be signing on the dotted line in the next few weeks.

    And he admitted that the nerves are jangling at the thought of going it alone.

    "It's exciting but, of course, I'll be nervous. It's only natural when you're coming out of a band after 14 years, you don't know where your life's going to take you," he said.

    "But all I want to do is sing, sing great songs and see where it goes. It's down to the songs."

    Shane and manager Louis Walsh have been having top-level negotiations with a number of labels -- but Shane didn't want to rush into anything.

    "I'm just working out now exactly what's happening, there's different things happening and we'll work it out in the next month or two. Obviously I want to make the right decision," he said.


    Fun

    Shane and his wife Gillian left their three children Nicole, Patrick and Shane at home for a day of fun at the festival.

    The celebrity couple were guests of multi-millionaire businessman JP McManus. Shane revealed how it was his first time at the festival.

    But it wasn't the easiest trip up from their Surrey home, where they're now living.

    They spent more than five hours caught in the traffic chaos as they slowly made their way to the Cotswolds course.

    Cancer's no match for date with a pop star

    Tuesday July 05 2011

    A YOUNG girl has vowed to beat cancer and keep a date with Westlife star Shane Filan.

    But brave Niamh McNulty will have to wait at least a year to make her dream happen -- after getting a call for a life-saving transplant.

    The 16-year-old received a 'good luck' call from the singer ahead of her operation, which takes place this Friday at Crumlin Children's Hospital.

    She has fought a rare form of leukemia for the past five years, but now a suitable bone marrow donor has been found in Germany.

    Her family threw her a party in Letterkenny, Co Donegal, to raise her spirits before the operation.

    All her family and friends came along, as did special guests former Eurovision singer Mickey Joe Harte and 'X Factor' contestant Eoghan Quigg.

    Call

    But Niamh got a very special phone call on the night from Westlife star Shane.

    "Her whole face just lit up. She couldn't believe it when Shane phoned. It was very nice of him to take the time.

    "Hopefully when the operation is a success, Niamh will get to meet him and have a good chat with him," her mother Bernie said.

    Bernie said that despite her chemotherapy treatment and watching her hair fall out four times, Niamh has been so brave.

    "She has such a great personality. She has been through hell and back and she always tries to have a smile on her face. She is amazing," Bernie added.

    Despite her date with Shane, Niamh will have to wait for several months after her operation, as she can only see immediate family and cannot leave her home.

    "The (medical) conditions are very strict, but we will do whatever we have to. Shane will have to wait," Bernie joked. "But it will all be worth it when Niamh pulls through."

    This is information from Westlife’s Mark Feehily’s Twitter page, on the band’s trans-Asia tour this summer; which will cover Indonesia, Taiwan, Hong Kong, China, Singapore, the Philippines and Vietnam. The information was then confirmed on Westlife’s website.

    Westlife’s Vietnamese fans are very enthusiastic with the information.

    This year, many international singers have come to Vietnam. After Backstreet Boys, Super Junior, JYJ, Alexandra Burke, David Cook will be David Archuleta, Westlife and perhaps Bon Jovi.

    Westlife is an Irish pop group formed on July 3, 1998. The group's original lineup comprised Nicky Byrne, Kian Egan, Mark Feehily, Shane Filan and Brian McFadden (departed from the band in 2004). The group is the only act in British or Irish history to have their first seven singles go straight to Number 1, and they have gone on to sell over 44 million records worldwide which includes their studio, single, video, and compilation albums.] Despite the group's worldwide success, they've only had one U.S. hit on the Billboard Hot 100 charts: "Swear It Again", which made it to No. 20 in 2000.

    Westlife were originally signed by Simon Cowell and are currently managed by Louis Walsh. They garnered 14 number one singles in the United Kingdom, the third-highest in UK history, tying with Cliff Richard and trailing behind only Elvis Presley and The Beatles. The group has also broken a few top records, including "Music artist with most consecutive number 1's in the UK". It was officially announced by the Official Charts Company that they are the "2nd biggest selling artist" (trailing behind Robbie Williams) and "Biggest selling band of the decade" (beating Coldplay) in UK with 11 million album sales.

    On June 1, 2008, Westlife marked their 10th anniversary with a concert in Croke Park, Dublin which had more than 83,000 fans attending the special occasion. Music Week revealed on their website that Westlife is the official third top touring act within the years 2005–2008, while they were 7th top touring act of 2008. Also in 2008, they were declared as Ireland's ninth-richest celebrities under 30 years old, and 13th in general with 36 million euros as a group. In 2009, they dropped as 16th richest Irish with estimated 8 million euros each. They are named as the fourth most hard-working music artist in UK by PRS in 2010.

    Gravity is the eleventh studio album from Westlife. It was released on November 22, 2010 in the United Kingdom through Syco Music, RCA Records and Sony Music.

    Westlife began its tour to advertise the album on March 7, 2011. Its Asian tour will begin on September 21.

    In Gravity tour, Westlife will perform its popular songs like Seasons in The Sun, Flying Without Wings, Uptown Girl, World of Our Own, You Raise Me Up and songs from the new album, such Gravity, Safe, I Will Reach You or No One’s Gonna Sleep Tonight.
     
     
    Shane Filan says it will happen 'someday'




    Westlife have hinted that they will reunite with former member Brian McFadden "someday".

    Last year McFadden, who quit the band in 2004, wrote on Twitter.comBrianMcFaddem: "I had a dream I was back on stage with Westlife playing some crazy-sized football stadium.

    "I would love to do an album with the boys and show JLS and Take That what we are really made of! If the boys wanna challenge these newcomers I am up for a fight."



    However, member Shane Filan responded at the time by saying: "I don't think it's even remotely interesting if Brian came back."

    Filan has now had a change of heart, telling the Daily Record: "I'd never rule out Brian coming back because there never was a bad patch with him. Brian was great with fans.

    "I definitely think some day it would be great fun to sing with Brian again. It could be in 10 years time but I think it will happen."

    I'm so happy for Brian and new love Vogue --

    Wednesday July 20 2011

    WESTLIFE'S Nicky Byrne has spoken of his joy that former bandmate Brian McFadden has found love again.

    The singer made the comments about his ex bandmate, who is currently enjoying the early flushes of romance with top Irish model Vogue Williams.

    Dad-of-two Nicky (32) explained how he doesn't know the Howth born model personally, but says that he is happy for his Australia-based friend on his newfound love.

    Nicky went on to reveal his belief that Artane native Brian will collaborate with Westlife again.

    He insists however that the group have made no plans for a reunion.

    "I don't know Vogue whatsoever but I'm just happy if he's happy," Nicky told the Diary.

    "He's a nice fella, I've always said it since the day he left.

    "Brian's not the worst in the world. He has a heart of gold. He's probably had a bit of a rough time of it down the years.

    "The way it is with Brian and the band is that it was one of those things where you'd never say never but there is no plan. I can categorically say that. I like him and who knows.

    "People love a bit of nostalgia.

    "I think there will be a time in Westlife's life when we do sing with him again. When that is, whether it's next week or five years down the line I really don't know," he added.

    Nicky also insists that he is in the dark when it comes to the line-up for RTE's new talent series, The Voice, for which his name has been mentioned as a potential judge.

    The Flying Without Wings singer says he would be interested in hearing more about the show but claims he has not spoken to anyone to date.

    According to the down to earth singer: "I don't know about The Voice at all. I keep hearing my name being mentioned around as well but no, not that I know of.

    "I don't know, I mean, I'd certainly be interested in being listed but you know I think they put everyone's name in the hat, don't they?

    "TV is something I've always enjoyed. Certainly I've presented Childline over the years. I'm always doing TV with Westlife being interviewed. I've always enjoyed the buzz of TV so definitely down the road.

    "I'm still concentrating on Westlife at the moment, we've another album to produce and lots of tours.

    "I do think The Voice is a great concept, I mean I've seen the American version. I think it will be great for Ireland definitely," he added.

    Nicky and his bandmates took a month off work over the summer, but are soon due to hit the road once more to continue their tour across South Africa and South East Asia.

    The chatty popstar was speaking last night at the world premiere of Peter Pan at the Grand Canal Theatre.

    Nicky was joined at the star-studded event by his wife Georgina, the couple's twin sons Rocco and Jay (4) and his mother-in-law Miriam Ahern.

     
     
    Westlife pay tribute to Amy Winehouse at Hamilton Park Race Course

    Westlife brought their Gravity tour to a packed Hamilton Park Racecourse last night (Saturday, July 23).

    Although the atmosphere at the concert was electric, the night was tinged with sadness following the news that Amy Winehouse had been found dead earlier that day.

    The boys were keen to express their sadness at the news and pay tribute to the singer.

    Mark Feehily told the crowd: ?It?s been a funny old day. I?m sure you?ve all heard the sad news about Amy Winehouse. I am a massive fan of hers; she has done so much for music in this country.

    ?Amy Winehouse, we love you so much ? tonight is for you.?

    Prior to the show, Mark had joined the host of stars and fans Tweeting tributes to Amy. He wrote: ?I am devastated...so so devastated... RIP my hero Amy xx?





    During a concert in Scotland, Westlife singer Mark Feehily told fans: “It’s been a funny old day. I’m sure you’ve all heard the sad news about Amy Winehouse. I am a massive fan of hers; she has done so much for music in this country. Amy Winehouse, we love you so much – tonight is for you.”

    Westlife singer Mark, who came up with the idea, said he was inspired by his own personal experiences of bullying when he was younger.







    A poster campaign aimed at highlighting the effects that bullying has on the lives of children and young people was launched in Dublin today.

    A number of well-known figures from the world of music and the arts are participating in the ISPCC campaign, which will last for four weeks.

    The society hopes the campaign will encourage children and young people to stand up to bullying and to find the strength to talk about it and to seek support.

    Saoirse Ronan, Mark Feehily, Louis Walsh, Laura Whitmore and Jedward all feature in posters with cuts and bruises to represent the lasting effect bullying can have on lives.

    "I know at first hand how the impact of being bullied as a teenager can quite literally last a lifetime," said Westlife member and ISPCC ambassador Mark Feehily. "I thought that if we could involve well known ISPCC ambassadors perhaps people will think twice about bullying or indeed allowing bullying to happen."

    Bullying can take on many forms from physical threats to online harassment and the Childline service received some 2,300 calls and messages everyday from young people last year alone.

    Almost a quarter of these contacts related to abuse and welfare, including bullying as well as issues around mental health.
     
     
    A week ago Kian Eagan announced that he and wife Jodi Albert were expecting their first child and today Jodi Albert proudly showed off her growing baby bump.

    The Wonderland singer appeared on This Morning with her fellow band members to sing a song from their debut album and Jodi looked just swell.

    Last week Jodi and her Westlife singer husband enjoyed a holiday in Ibiza and the singer showed off her four month pregnancy in a white bikini




    Kian announced on Twitter than the couple were expecting their first baby together and Jodi revealed on This Morning today that the baby is due January 1.









    people.com : Westlife star Kian Egan is looking forward to being a dad. Wife Jodi Albert, 28, is busy in girl band Wonderland - but not too busy to have a baby.

    The singer loves strutting around in her Louboutins, but she might have to abandon them soon - for the sake of her back!

    'I have two or three pairs for special occasions and they always make me feel really sexy,' Jodi tells us.

    Kian, 31, doesn't mind what Jodi wears though and even finds her alluring in her jim-jams.

    'Kian thinks I'm sexy in my pyjamas,' she reveals.






    Thursday August 18 2011

    WESTLIFE star Nicky Byrne has revealed his delight for his bandmate Kian Egan, who is preparing to become a father for the first time.

    The Dublin singer told the Diary how he was delighted to hear earlier this month that Kian and his wife, Wonderland singer Jodi Albert, were expecting their first child.

    The singer explained how Kian was a great help when he started his own family with wife Georgina Ahern. The couple have children, twin brothers Rocco and Jay (4).


    tips

    "It's such great news. The thing about Kian is he has a load of nieces and nephews so Kian, if I'm honest, was actually giving me and Georgina tips when we started having kids, back in the day," he laughed.

    Speaking at the launch of the new ad campaign for the Irish Heart Foundation earlier this week, the star who was accompanied by his wife and their twin sons, revealed that singer Jodi has always been very maternal.

    "Kian was very good with kids from the offset so I really think he will be a great dad and Jodi will be a great mum, she's brilliant with Rocco and Jay, she's very very motherly. I am genuinely delighted for them," he revealed.

    Meanwhile, the Dublin star -- who is tipped to be the new co-presenter of RTE's The Voice -- told the Diary that he hasn't met or spoken to former bandmate Brian McFadden since his return to Ireland.

    The Australia's Got Talent judge is in town for a month with model girlfriend Vogue Williams, and although he asked Westlife member Mark Feehily to meet up last week, Nicky (32) says he hasn't heard from him at all.


    blood

    "I haven't seen Brian or heard anything from him, you probably see him or hear about him more than I do," he joked.

    The dad-of-two insists however that there is no bad blood between them.

    "I never fell out with Brian, he's a good mate but just haven't heard from him or seen him at all," he explained.



     

    Jodi Albert has revealed that she will be raiding partner Kian Egan's wardrobe for 'baggy' clothes during her pregnancy.
    1 of 1 Albert is set to wear partner Kian Egan's clothes during her pregnancy Speaking to the Daily Star newspaper, the 27-year-old Wonderland singer said: "I love to wear baggy clothes and I'm always in Kian's wardrobe!"



    Jodi Albert and Kian Egan are looking forward to becoming parents.

    Albert continued to disclose that the pair are over the moon to be expecting their first baby saying: "We're so happy and can't wait to become parents."

    However, the former Hollyoaks actress suggested that her baby will be the first of many pitching in: "We'd love to have a big family. That's what life's about."

     
     
    Saturday August 20 2011

    Westlife's Nicky Byrne has said he doesn't believe The X Factor will be as good without acid-tongued judge Simon Cowell.

    And the Herald can reveal how the band's usual slot on the hit show now hangs in the balance since they left the music mogul's record label, SyCo.

    The chart-topping singer explained how he believed the whole dynamic of the ITV programme will have changed as a result of Simon switching to X Factor USA.

    "I hear Gary Barlow is good but I can't see it being as good without Simon, if I'm honest, because he and Louis had that banter, that chemistry. I know Louis likes Gary and they get on but I'm not sure if the same chemistry could be had, with anyone," he said.


    Cog

    "It doesn't matter who you put in that seat, it's not Simon Cowell. It's nothing against Gary but it's going to be different. And then you've not got Cheryl or Dannii either, so it's not like, you're not just missing one major cog in the wheel it's like 'wow, the whole thing has changed'. But it could be 50 times better, who knows?"

    The Irish boyband has made countless key appearances on the talent contest, now in its eighth series, which has helped them launch their latest albums to TV audiences of millions.

    But Nicky explained how the group are no longer assured a key slot on the programme now that they have switched labels to RCA. "I will certainly watch the show but I don't know if we'll be on it. We would all love to, of course and with Louis there thankfully we have an 'in' on it," he continued.

    "But they have had us on a lot over the years and you have to remember, SyCo is the company that makes the show so hopefully it wouldn't be like that. But you never know, we might not get the show and if we don't, we'll just have to pick ourselves up and move on."

    The popular singer has also done little to allay speculation that RTE is head-hunting him to co-present new programme The Voice of Ireland. But he said that it's all to do with timing and his first loyalties will always lie with Westlife as the four lads gear up to embark on a short tour next month of South Africa and South East Asia.

    "I'm not going to lie -- broadcasting is something I do enjoy," he continued. "Nobody has offered me the job or anything like that but it's always nice to be mentioned in a big TV show like that. I don't know if I have the timing for something like this."


    Request

    Once their next tour is complete, Westlife will be taking to the stage at the O2 Dublin on November 24 to play 'O2 SmartSounds'. A live social-media gig, it will see attendees being able to request the songs they'd like to hear on the night. "We're really looking forward to that. It's a great concept and there's also going to be a battle of the bands on the night," Nicky added.

    Herald readers will have the opportunity to win tickets to this exclusive event, with more details revealed over the coming weeks

    Dubliner Nicky Byrne has revealed that the band is currently out of contract and looking forward to their future.

    The Irish crooners, who parted ways with Simon Cowell's record company earlier this year, moved to RCA after they clashed creatively with Cowell.

    Speaking to The Star, Byrne said that there is not a new Westlife album in the works right now.

    "Right now no." he said. "Right now we are just looking forward to the Greatest Hits.

    "We are out of contract at the moment which is a great position to be in because if this album does well we're looking to the future, like a footballer you are free to talk to anybody.



    Byrne with his bandmates Kian Egan, Mark Feehily and Shane Filan

    "At the moment I would guess Greatest Hits tour and then we might not come back with an album in the next year because it might feel too soon.

    "I would say we'd probably look at what's on the table and then maybe discuss with a few other people, labels and see what's there and move forward."

    However the Westlife star admitted that there is no hard feelings between the band and their former mentor Cowell.

    "I texted him when the amicable departure happened and I said Simon I just want to thank you for the 13 years and I owe you an awful lot. Straight away he replied and said 'listen we're always here for you guys'."


     






    Jedward, X-Factor judge Louis Walsh and Westlife star Mark Feehily have all posed as assault victims in a hard-hitting campaign against bullying.

    The pop stars appear bruised and battered in the posters launched by children's campaigners.

    MTV presenter Laura Whitmore and actress Saoirse Ronan have also been photographed as part of the series of images launched in Dublin today by the Irish Society for the Protection of Cruelty to Children (ISPCC).

    Kian: I love Metallica

    Photobucket



    I WAS stunned when

    KIAN EGAN told me his favourite band.

    The music I listen to at home is very different from Westlife, he revealed. I love

    METALLICA. I loved them when I was younger and that,s the kind of music I choose to listen to on my iPod.

    Kian lives in Essex rather than his native Sligo, though he has a house there.

    He moved to be with his gorgeous girlfriend, actress

    JODI ALBERT.

    And when the band take a break after their tour next year, he and the former Hollyoaks star plan a long holiday.

    Kian said: I need to get away for a while. Jodi and I want to backpack around the world.

    I don,t think I m going to stay in a backpackers hostel, but I don,t want to go five-star either.


    Moody

    I don,t think you experience enough in five-star hotels. You don,t meet enough interesting people.

    I m surprised to learn that Kian likes being so friendly and meeting strangers.

    His bandmates have nicknamed him Grumplestiltskin because he apparently always so moody.

    Kian great love in life apart from his lovely girlfriend, of course is surfing.

    He leaps on his board in exotic locations around the globe and has even opened up a juice bar in Sligo, where there is a strong surfing community.

    He said: Im not into football, which Jodi is grateful for, but I do love surfing. She always moaning at me because I like to watch surfing DVDs all the time.

    I love going away on surf camps with my buddies. When I do that we don,t stay at top-price places, I stay at hotels that cost 15 a night and I like that because you meet some great people.

    Kian Say's

    I never thought westlife would have 12 number ones.
    My favourite westlife moment was shooting the video for if I let you go in Tenerife.
    My favourite westlife track is what makes a man.
    My favourite video is fool again.
    The others would say that I'm very head strong.
    When I m not working I like to surf.
    My motto is treat people how you would like to be treated.
    If I had to describe myself in three words they would be romantic, fun and shy.
    The phase I often use is Alone .

     

     
     
     
    NICKY

    Kian is the most serious in the band and the most passionate about what we do. He always seems to have a point to make. He's thinking about Westlife all the time but the other side of it is that he has a fiery temper. He'll lose his head and start swearing but then we all swear. Spend an hour with us and a swear box and you'd be rich!I remember one occasion and we'd been at a party all night. We'd literally had 20 minutes sleep and we got on a plane from East Germany to Amsterdam. Everyone was conked out on the flight but our tour manager woke up and took Kian's watch from his wrist without him noticing.When Kian got off the plane, he realised it had gone and because he'd been drunk he couldn't remember when he'd last seen it.
    He'd spent pounds 2,500 on it and it wasn't insured. He was just about to bawl his eyes out when the tour manager gave it back tohim.If that was me, I would have been so relieved that I would have given the guy a hug but Kian was the opposite and was really annoyed. He freaked out and started shouting at him: "Don't you ever do that to me again". He'll look back on it now and think it was hilarious, but he wasn't happy at the time!

    SHANE

    We've been friends for years, and we see things quite similarly. I've always been close to him and we even went out with the same girls - but not at the same time! Kian works really hard, and worries about the band alot. He worries a lot about his hair as well! Kian has an angelic smile - which doesn't always hide the cheeky devil inside! He's happiest when he's standing on a stage in front of thousands of screaming fans, or talking business down the phone to Louis Walsh, or standing in the middle of a crowd of beautiful girls! And when Kian's not working he loves to shop - and Los Angeles is his fave hunting ground. He recently splashed out on a five-thousand-pound Rolex, and has a weakness .

    MARK

    Kian's very serious about the band - he'd lose a leg for it, I suspect! He can be very charming, especially when there are girls about! He loves being on stage and gets a huge buzz out of it! He's very dedicated, but he also knows how to gave a laugh.
     
     

    Thursday November 19 2009

    Westlife's Kian Egan has revealed how he relived the pain of his own father's death this month, when his bandmate Nicky Byrne's dad passed away suddenly.

    The Sligo singer admits that the funeral of Nikki two weeks ago brought back so many memories of his beloved father, Kevin, that he shed as many tears that day as he did when he buried his own dad last July.

    Kian married his longtime love Jodi Albert at a lavish ceremony in Barbados last May, just two months before his father's tragic passing.

    "I probably cried just as much at Nicky's dad's funeral as I did at my own dad's," he told the Herald.

    "It wasn't because I was sitting there thinking my dad is gone as well, it's just because I know what it feels like. I know the pain. It was just a very sad time, you know.

    "I knew what he would have to go through, what his mother would have to go through.

    "When my dad passed, I just wished that no-one else in Westlife had to go through that pain.

    "My dad was very sick with cancer for a long time and he suffered a lot at the end, so you know in a sense for Nicky's dad to have passed so quickly after my own, it was very strange and very difficult.

    "It was just very fresh and I just wish it wasn't so close.

    "All of our fathers are of similar age. Nikki Sr was too young to die. My dad was too young to die. It shouldn't have happened. We got the rough end of the stick," he added.

    The star, who stepped out alongside his bandmates Nicky, Mark Feehily and Shane Filan last night to perform at the Cheerios Childline Concert at the O2, says that his pal Nicky has been remarkably brave and says he was right to throw himself back into his work.

    "We all took the week off for Nicky and he's been very strong," he explained. "Both of our fathers would absolutely kick us asunder if they saw us at home sitting on our ass.

    "We've an album coming out in three weeks and both of our dads' lived for Westlife so we're doing it for them really.

    "We're not going to get anywhere by sitting at home moping," he added.

    No Westlife wipeout!

    Kian Egan can more than hold his own on a surfboard as he takes to the waves in Barbados
    By Daily Mail Reporter
    on 31st December 2010


    At a glance, it looks like the man taking to the waves in Barbados is a professional surfer, or someone more than a little used to balancing on a surfboard.
    But, on closer inspection, the blonde beach hunk in the water is Westlife's Kian Egan, who showed off some impressive surfing skills in Barbados yesterday.
    Wearing a T-shirt and board shorts, Kian looked confident and self-assured as he performed some tricky manoeuvres in the sea.
    Not a Westlife wipeout! Kian Egan looks more than a little confident on a surfboard as he takes to the waves in Barbados

    The 30-year-old singer was watched by his wife Jodi Albert as he enjoyed the surf, but former Hollyoaks star Jodi decided to play it safe by sitting on the shore.
    It seems the couple are thoroughly enjoying their time away, as Kian tweeted earlier this week: 'Hope everyone is have a lovey Christmas/ new year... Were enjoying chilling out but very excited for 2011! Bring it on!!!'
    2010 has been an incredibly successful year for Westlife, who remain one of the most popular boybands in the UK.
    Catching the wave: Kian appears to be a very skilled surfer

    And...up: Kian prepares to stand up on the board as he gets his timing just right

    They released their eleventh studio album Gravity, the first single from which, Safe, peaked at number 10 in the UK charts.
    The boys - Kian, Shane Filan, Nicky Byrne and Mark Feehily - are now preparing for their tour next year, which starts in March.
    And they have no intention of breaking up and pursuing other career interests in the near future.

    Westlife’s Kian Egan to replace Barlow?
    February 6, 2012 Share Tweet
    By Danielle FletcherRumours are rife that Gary Barlow is to be replaced by Westlife’s Kian Egan, for the next series of The X Factor.

    It has been mentioned that Simon Cowell plans to make ‘sweeping changes’ to the show, after axing Paula Abdul, Nicole Scherzinger and Steve Jones, from the American version.



    The Irish singer is currently a judge on Ireland’s talent contest, The Voice and plans on building a TV career after Westlife’s farewell tour.

    One source said: “Kian is highly rated and would be a perfect judge, although whether he is considered will depend on what happens with Louis Walsh.”

    Insiders said: “In reality, Kian can only be considered if Louis doesn’t come back,” as the pair are both closely connected to the Irish music scene
     
     
    Kian happy to be voice for children
    HE may be a bit of a rottweiler in the judge's chair of 'The Voice of Ireland', but yesterday Kian Egan was more a cuddly puppy as he threw his weight behind a campaign to help sick children.

    And the Westlife singer admitted that becoming a father himself has made him realise "just how lucky most of us are".

    His wife Jodie gave birth to their son Koa just before Christmas and it has helped him appreciate life more.

    Kian was speaking close to his home in Strandhill, Co Sligo, where he helped to launch Happy Faces Day for the Jack & Jill Foundation. Money from the campaign helps families pay for specialist respite nurses.

    "I am just delighted that I can help because what these people do is just marvellous," he said.

    He added: "Most of us take so much for granted, like shopping, taking the children to the park and things we see as ordinary every day things.

    "But the families of these children don't have so much time to do that. All their hours are taken up with dedicated care. The Jack and Jill foundation does so much to help give them time."

    Sligo Parents Nicholas and Alice Power are one couple who were delighted with the singer's help.

    "Kian is helping to give us a voice. We really appreciate his efforts to help us," said Alice, whose son Nicholas, 18 months, suffers from a complicated heart condition called truncus arteriosis as well as cerebral palsy.

    The Jack & Jill Foundation has been helping the couple since September when Nicholas was discharged from hospital.

    He needs 24-hour care, with Alice doing the day shift and her husband doing the night shift.

    To help Jack and Jill raise funds, the Irish Professional Photographers Association are providing its services free for Happy Faces Day.

    Photographers will charge €25 for individual portraits with the funds going to Jack and Jill to be spent on respite care.

    ADMIRATION: Kian for Jodi
    KIAN Egan admits he has new admiration for women after seeing his wife go through 13 hours of labour with their son, Koa.
    "Watching Jodi go through all that gave me a whole different respect for women," says the Westlife and Voice of Ireland star.
    "I was telling my friends to pick up the phone, ring their mothers and thank them for what they experience for us.
    "It's insane what they do. Jodi didn't scream once.
    "It was the determination in her to make sure everything went all right that really impressed me.
    "The way she powered through - I was well taken back by it."
     
     
     
    Lillie's hosts Kian and Leigh's birthday bash


    Monday April 30 2012

    THE party posse turned out in force over the weekend, as Westlife star Kian Egan and model Leigh Learmont celebrated their birthdays at Dublin nightspot Lillie's.

    The champagne was flowing as The Voice coach and Wonderland singer toasted another year with a number of his close pals.

    An insider revealed to the Diary that dad-of-one Kian, who turned 32 yesterday, was joined by wife Jodi Albert and band mate Mark Feehily at the bash, which was held in the exclusive members bar. New mum Jodi was delighted to catch up with Wonderland singer and pal Leigh, who was blowing out the candles for her 23rd birthday.

    A source divulged: "Jodi looked amazing, she was in great form. She had a great time catching up with Leigh."

    U2 frontman Bono and close friend Guggi later stopped by and had a glass of vino with the revellers. Also painting the town red were style queen Triona McCarthy, designer Louise Kennedy and restaurateurs Dylan McGrath and Ronan Ryan.

    SHANE FILAN, 28, said: If a song is at number three were not happy, which is ridiculous. We like 20 number ones before we call it quits.
     
     
     
     
    KIAN

    Shane and I are very close. We are both very committed to making this band as successful as we can. We spend ages talking about songs, and about how the band is getting on. He,s good fun to be with.

    MARK

    With Shane, his character very much depends on his mood. If he's in a good mood he can be absolutely hilarious, but if he's not he just doesn't want to know. His biggest fault is that he's downright lazy. I was once at his house in Sligo and he had a video that was due back.The video store is 50 metres away, but he still got in his car and drove there. It's the same with his mobile phone. If his phone is in his bag on the other side of the room, he'll ask to borrow my phone rather than bother to get up and fetch his bag. But he's a very generous person and he's very fast to buy a round of drinks. If we go into a bar for just one drink, Shane will always be the one to pay. He's quite happy to spend his money. He's not as extravagant as Kian when it comes to shopping, but he does enjoy it and he gets quite choosy about the clothes he wears. I'll always ask Shane for advice on anything because there's a mutual respect. He's helped me out a few times and we've got a lot of time for each other, especially when it comes to singing. Shane is so talented. I'm convinced music will always be part of his life. Shane can be very, very funny. And he can also be very, very inattentive. Sometimes it takes ages and hours to get his attention. If he's doing one thing, then that's the only thing he's going to do!

    NICKY

    Shane is great and we get on very well, we have a good laugh and he can take a joke.He's pretty cool and very popular with the girls, but he can be quite vain, particularly about his hair. He can't pass a mirror without looking into it. He's quite into clothes, too, but he's got the worst fashion sense out of the whole band. He doesn't have a clue. We're always warning him the fashion police will be after him, so when he arrives in the morning in a dodgy outfit we pretend to go over and handcuff him. He'll happily wear white socks and shoes and jeans and bright colored trousers that don't match his shirt.But the worst ever was when we were in Tenerife to shoot the If I Let You Go video. We had a day off beforehand and were all down at the pool. He came down in a vest, really short shorts, flip-flops with socks, a bum bag tied to his waist - and a pair of shades. He just looked like a typical tourist, but the worst thing was he thought he looked really cool. It was terrible!

    I Never thought that Westlife would still be Highly successful seven years on. My favourite westlife moment was meeting the pope. My favourite westlife tract is Flying Without Wings. My favourite westlife video is Fool Again. What the other guys say about me is that I'm generous and a nice guy! When I'm not working I like to change Nicole,s nappies! My Motto is "everything happens for a reason." I would describe myself as level - headed, generous and romantic. The phase I often use is You Know What I Mean.

    Shane interview in May edition of Sky Magazine

    How would you feel about there being a Westlife musical?
    I would feel quite good about it, actually. It's something we've talked about, but we would have to take time to consider how it would be done. It could end up being very cheesy and very silly.

    Who would play you in a film?
    That's a good question. My favourite actor is Tom Cruise, but he doesn't look like me. Leonardo DiCaprio is great, but he doesn't look like me either - whoever wants to play me is fine.

    What's your craziest fan experience?
    Mark got sent a turnip - a turnip in a box! Why, I don't know. Most of our fans are normal but 1% of them are headcases. You get sent pubic hair.

    Which Westlife song are you bored of being asked to perform?
    I Have a Dream is probably our least favourite song.

    What's the oddest thing that has been thrown on stage?
    Someone threw these knickers and they must have been about a size 50. I picked them up and said, 'Who the hell owns these?' It was a big joke on the night and very funny. If we get bras and stuff we usually put them on each other - it's all good fun.

    How do you avoid being noticed when you're out and about?
    You choose the places you go carefully. If you go to a club in Ireland there's always going to be a hen night. I don't mind having a picture, but sometimes it gets out of hand and you get girls in bunny rabbit suits coming over and jumping all over you!

    What's you perfect day off?
    Just spending time with my family and playing a bit of golf. I'd like to do both in the same day, preferably somewhere hot. Obviously Ireland isn't that hot. Every day I get up and see my kids and thank God they are healthy and safe. It's really all about family now.

    Do you ever catch your family singing your songs?
    My daughter Nicole is four and a half and she's singing them all of the time - she literally knows every word of every song on the new album already.

    When were you last star-struck?
    We met Barack Obama recently, and I was completely star-struck. We met Pope John Paul II before he died, too.

     
     
    Shane: I got this dream and it is still going on


    "As a young fellow in Summerhill college, it was always a dream that I never thought would happen. Some people dream about going to college and being a doctor but for me I dreamt about being in a band. I got my dream and it is still going and I don't forget that for a second".

    That's how Shane Filan summed up his thoughts on the remarkable Westlife success story as he and the other bandmembers prepare for next week's sell-out Lissadell concert.

    Shane puts it all down to the band's choice of music and a solid fan base.

    "It's unbelievable you know, after 12 years or whatever, it's kind of hard to believe we are still going strong every year. Our popularity keeps going strong and every album we release does well and tickets still sell.

    "I think we have come to the stage with fans now and have reached a certain point where if you release good music and stuff, the fans will stay with you.

    "We now have a very solid fan base around the world and we still have the same kind of fan base and they have kinda grown up with us and obviously we are getting a lot older audience now as well."

    "At concerts around the world you notice fans that are still there with us growing up and some of them have kids now, married, and then you know you have the mums and dads that come then it's more of a family event. That's the secret of a long journey for Westlife, we just have that solid fan base that just sticks with us".

    Looking ahead, when asked where he would see himself and Westlife in ten year's time, Shane said: "We would still obviously like to be in Westlife, we look at Take That now and they have a massive comeback. They're obviously doing great stuff at the moment and they're 9 or 10 years older than us.

    "They were the band we looked up to when we were 16 or 17. They were our age doing what we're doing. It's great to see them at that age being so strong. And obviously Robbie's back with them now and it just shows you we can do it when we are 39 or 40 years old. It's just a matter of getting the songs right".

    On the reasons for keeping going, Shane said: "We enjoy it, of course we do, we wouldn't do it if we didn't enjoy it. I think as a band we have done so well now that if we weren't enjoying it anymore we wouldn't have to do it.

    "We have had a lot of success but for us it's all about the next album and the next single. It's great fun you know as a band. We have grown up together as people, we have gotten married, had babies and different stuff and we are a very close kind of group of friends now as well as band mates".


    Summerhill boys still friends


    DESPITE his rise to international fame, Shane and his fellow band members succeeded in keeping close to their roots. Shane has many friends from his days in Summerhill college.

    On Friday last he attended the wedding of one of his best friends. "I had a great bunch or friends at Summerhill, a lot of fellas I know to this day; I still see them".

    Shane found himself going directly into showbusiness after Summerhill. When asked if he thought about what his life might have been like if he had taken a different route back then, Shane said: "I suppose you always think back of what it would have been like but I'm a firm believer in what's meant to be is meant to be.

    "Sometimes you think things are great but then you have bad days or whatever's meant to be in your life, that's the path you're meant to take and for me it was to be in Westlife.

    "I didn't get to go to college like everyone else and have the mad years away and live that side of life. I didn't have a rag week or any of them kind of things. Small stuff, but for me it was all about dreaming to be where I am now, in a band like this and touring the world".

    BRIAN LEAVING WAS 'A SHOCK'
    Westlife's Shane: Band thought we were being 'Punk'd' by McFadden


    SHOCK: Westlife’s Shane
    WESTLIFE insist that Brian McFadden will not be joining them for their last ever tour next year. The band played an intimate invite gig in Dublin's 02 on Thursday night. Mark Feehily says the band will end their days as a quartet and Brian will not be a part of their final tour.
    "It's not happening and was never happening [Brian taking part in the tour], even though everyone has asked," he insists.
    Shane adds: "Brian left because he didn't like being in the group.
    "It shocked us beyond belief. "We actually thought we were being Punk'd on that MTV show when he said he wanted to leave.
    "I was like 'you're s***ing me, why the f** would you want to leave Westlife?.
    "We were all getting along so well, but we didn't have a clue what was going on in his personal life, his marriage, any of it."
    He also reveals some of the bizarre 'presents' they have got off fans.
    "Mark got sent a turnip with all the dirt on it," he laughs.
    Pubic
    "Then at a signing we were given a pubic hair taped to an envelope and also a used tampon in a box."


    Shane Filan moves to England to boost solo career after Westlife


    13/01/2012

    Shane Filan has moved to England as he prepares to kickstart his solo career.

    The Westlife star, 32, his wife Gillian, and three children Nicole, Patrick and Shane, moved from Sligo to Surrey during the Christmas holidays.

    Although they lived for several months at a time in the Georgian-style house at Cobham, the family has decided to make it a more permanent home while Shane develops his solo career after Westlife break up following Croke Park concerts in June.


    Eldest child Nicole, six, is already attending a school near the home Shane bought three years ago.

    A close family friend said he and Gillian have no intention of breaking their links with Sligo and will return often and will retain their sprawling home outside the town.

    The friend added: “They adore Sligo and will always regard it as their home. But Shane has realised London is the best place to be for his solo career.

    "Cobham is in the London commuter-belt. He has spent so much time on the road around the world with Westlife. He wants to spend more time with his family so he and Gillian decided the best thing for now would be to move to their home outside London.

    “He can concentrate on his new career and not be away from his family so much.”

    Shane and Gillian can take their children to a number of parks near their new home and also to nearby Chessington World of Adventures. He can also indulge his passion for golf at Wentworth, where he has played several times.

    Louis Walsh, currently on holiday at his Miami apartment until February, has already announced he will continue to manage Shane and has predicted he will be the most successful solo artist of Westlife after the band splits next summer.

    Louis said he could see Shane having a career like big band singer Michael Buble.

    He added: “Shane is going to be a big artist. I will only manage someone if I believe in them.”

    Westlife or One Direction?

    Westlife give Rovers a 25,000 lifeline







    Friday November 14 2008

    BOYBAND Westlife have snapped up
    some rare memorabilia from their early career before
    it went to auction and thrown a lifeline to
    their local cash-strapped soccer team.

    The Sligo group paid 25,000 for the 250 items
    that have been painstakingly gathered
    by local collector
    Gavin Walsh after
    he donated them to a fundraising
    auction to commemorate
    the 25th anniversary of
    Sligo Rovers' FAI Cup Final win over Bohemians, and the band's 10th anniversary.

    Shane Filan
    said he and the other members of the group --
    Nicky Byrne, Mark Feehily and Kian Egan --
    decided to put in
    the bid earlier this week
    when they realised
    the collection had become available.

    "We first saw
    the collection five years ago and
    were very impressed by it.
    When we heard it was going to
    be auctioned
    we agreed we should make an offer.

    "Our view was that
    it was better for the collection
    to end up with Westlife than anywhere else.
    We can now put it together
    with all the other memorabilia
    we have ourselves so
    that the complete collection will be
    in safe keeping.

    "It's hard to put a price on
    these things but it is of great
    sentimental value for us," he explained.

    Punk rock fan Gavin Walsh (43)
    started the collection in 2000 --
    two years after Westlife was formed --
    as "a civic duty".

    We're FM104 DJs, Get Us Out Of Here! Well,
    that's the way
    we were feeling earlier
    today as the 104-hour challenge in the Clerys window began to take its toll both physically and mentally.

    What a weird feeling it was this morning,
    waking up and seeing the GPO
    outside our bedroom window,
    and people pressed against
    the window taking photos of us sleeping.

    Along with my colleague Jeremy, we've been living,
    working, eating and sleeping in
    the window and today we were asked to do our first task: Adrian Kennedy v Jeremy Dixon in a game of Jenga.
    The loser would have to perform a forfeit --
    the forfeit in this case was a spray-on tan performed live in the window in front of a street of on-lookers.

    After a spine-chilling game of Jenga, watched by more than 150 spectators, I emerged the victor.

    Suffice to say, Jeremy now looks well and truly tangoed with FM104 Phoneshow listeners now nicknaming him the oompa-loompa DJ.

    Loyal

    Following those high jinks,
    our celebrity guest joined us for dinner.

    Tonight it was Westlife's Nicky Byrne.
    His loyal female fans began
    queuing outside from early morning.

    By the time he arrived, at 6pm, there was a frenzy.
    Hundreds of FM104 listeners and
    Nicky fans catching a once-in-a-lifetime photo opportunity -- Adrian, Nicky and Jeremy eating their dinner.

    During the show, things went a bit crazy outside our studio window.

    We had an Al Pacino look-a-like perform ballroom dancing, a topless man with FM104 printed on his
    chest and an interesting character who spent 20 minutes freestyle dancing for the spectators.

    Time to get some sleep.
    We only wish the road-sweeping truck would stop driving by.

    Nicky Byrne Goes On The Soup...

    Westlife's Nicky Byrne was on-the-soup
    in Dublin this week but don't worry folks, not a drop was had...
    The spiky blonde crooner was hanging out with Adrian Kennedy & Jeremy Dixon in Clerys' shop front window (as you do) slurping down his dinner and raising money for the ISPCC...





    Westlife's Nicky showed-up with a bottle
    of Champers for the two lads last Tuesday night and even stayed on for a bowl of hot soup prepared
    by his genial yet slightly stir-crazy hosts...
    Of course hardcore Westlife fans turned-up in their hundreds and went nuts with their idol just feet away in the window...
    Spit on me Nicky!

    Get out your BBQ

    The Centra Childline
    Big BBQ is back and Nicky Byrne of Westlife
    has joined Centra and Childline to encourage
    people living in Cavan to get out their
    BBQs out during June and July and raise money for a great cause.

    The Childline Big BBQ raised €408,000 for Childline
    in 2008
    and Centra are asking people all over
    Cavan to register for their BBQ pack and host their own fundraising barbecue at home,
    at work or even in their local sports club.

    Last year success was also helped by the many Centra Stores throughout Cavan which hosted BBQ
    for their local communities.
    Childline is Ireland,s only multi-media listening service,
    providing support to children throughout the country 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

    Commenting at the launch, Nicky Byrne of Westlife said:
    To raise over €400,000 last year was a great achievement, particularly given the weather we had,
    and I really encourage people to help us match that amount this year by hosting their own BBQs throughout June and July.

    Des Mahony, brand communications manager,
    Centra said: We are delighted to be involved with the Childline Big BBQ once again. Following on from the massive success of last year event and
    the fantastic response from Centra customers,
    we are hoping that even more people will register to host BBQs throughout the summer.
    It is a great way to spend time with family and friends and all the monies raised goes to a very worthwhile cause.
    Our aim is to ensure that fewer calls to Childline go unanswered.
     
     
     
     
    Westlife singer Shane scores
    the winning goal in charity match against his childhood idols Rovers






    Thursday August 06 2009

    Westlife superstar Shane Filan wowed fans with his fancy footwork when he scored the winning goal in a charity football match against his childhood heroes, Sligo Rovers, last night.

    The multi-millionaire heart-throb fulfilled a childhood dream when he captained his father-in-law's works team from a local junior astro-turf league before a crowd of 500 at the Sligo Showgrounds.

    "I actually find this quite exciting. I've followed Sligo Rovers all my life and I never thought I would get to play a game against them," he said before kick-off.

    "To do it at the Showgrounds is an added thrill. It's what every kid in Sligo wants to do."

    And he even managed to score the winning goal from a penalty against the Eircom League side in the action-packed game which ended with a 3-1 win for 'Filan's Eleven'.

    Equalised

    After a goal-free first half, Shane's team went one up when his co-striker, former Rovers star Sean Flannery, scored -- but just two minutes later, Rovers equalised.

    Following a 20-yard driving run down the middle by Shane, his pass to Anthony Hennebery was netted in the 80th minute to put his side 2-1 ahead.

    But Shane sealed victory when he scored from the penalty spot in the closing minutes.

    Earlier, the 30-year-old beamed proudly as he jogged out sporting the striker's Number 9 jersey, after jetting in from London, where Westlife are working on their next album, just hours earlier.

    He arranged the game with League of Ireland side Rovers to help pals Ann Culkin, a 26-year-old HR consultant, and Hilary Jones (27), a beauty consultant, raise funds for a charity climb of Africa's highest mountain, Kilimanjaro, in aid of the Irish Red Cross later this month.

    His Night Owls' League team, named the Sligo Plumbing and Heating Company, included four former Rovers players.

    The youngest fan at the game was five-month-old Alana Lynch, who travelled from Dundalk with her parents, Francis and Carmel, friends of the organisers.

    Alana's brother Francis (3) and sister Aoife (5) were official mascots for Shane's side as he led his squad on to the pitch.

    WESTLIFE will perform at the News of the World's Children's Champions Awards this year.

    It is the second time the big-hearted band - Kian Egan, Nicky Byrne, Mark Feehily and Shane Filan - have sung at the star-studded bash, which honours those who work beyond the call of duty for kids.


    Westlife, who are managed by Louis Walsh and Simon Cowell, have now sold over 45 million records worldwide.


    Mark said: "We've always supported Children's Champions so it's so great to be able to come back and perform.


    "Seeing the faces of the winners and hearing their stories is always really special. I know this will be another brilliant year."


    The event is hosted by Chris Evans and Amanda Holden in London on March 3 and will be shown
    on Sky1 on March 7.

    UP to 15,000 people arrived in Adare early this morning with more expected later today as Ireland's most successful charity golf Pro-Am got off to a spectacular start, guaranteeing that millions of euro will be made for local charities.
    The top golfers in the world were joined by Hollywood stars,

    The scenic setting for the charity event was a hive of activity over the weekend as celebrities and golfers began to arrive and as organisers and volunteers completed the final preparations ahead of the tournament which began at eight o'clock this morning.

    Fans began to arrive at the venue shortly after 6am and gardai reported some traffic delays on approach roads to Adare.

    Tournament host JP McManus was on hand shortly after 7am to welcome US Open champion Graeme McDowell when he took to the driving range. "It is great I am looking forward to it and let's hope the weather stays away," he said as he took shelter from a light shower.

    World No 1 Tiger Woods was due to arrive at Adare this afternoon after travelling from the United States overnight in his own jet, following the conclusion of the PGA Tour event at Philadelphia.

    Justin Rose was also due to arrive this afternoon after his victory in the AT&T event.

    Celebrities were also out in force this morning with Hollywood stars such as Samuel L Jackson, Michael Douglas and Peter Gallagher all taking part.

    Desperate Housewives star Kyle MacLachlan said it was a privilege to have been asked to participate.

    "Just coming here with the grounds and the manor it is so beautiful and its was so unexpected," he said. "JP is such a good host and everything is first-class. We are all treated
    incredibly well."
     
     
     
    WESTLIFE POP INTO GREAT ORMOND STREET
    ABOVE: Seamus Glancy,3, with Jen and Westlife 14th December 2010 By Jeffier Dunkerley
    As tiny Ben rips open his first Christmas present it isnt the milestone his mum ­imagined.



    For the little bundle of joy is marking his first birthday AND first Christmas on the wards of Great Ormond Street Hospital in London.



    Sadly many children will spend the big day in hospital. But your Daily Star is determined to make it as good as it can be.


    As part of our charity app­eal we inviting celebrity pals and big-hearted readers to bring some extra sparkle to the wards this December.


    And its smiles all round as Westlife's Kian, Nicky, Shane and Mark deliver big baskets of gifts for the little patients.
    Shane Filan, 31, cuddles Ben, who has leukaemia, and gulps: He such a happy fella you wouldnt know how poorly he is. It breaks your heart.


    I have three kids of my own and it's always tough to leave them when we tour. Visiting Great Ormond Street, especially at Christmas, makes you see what a special place this is.


    Ben's mum Angela Quadling, 36, of Sittingbourne, Kent, says: find your baby has leuk­aemia is the worst news.

    But we're thankful to be under some of the best care here.


    The excitement of the band's visit to Elephant Ward was missed by sleeping beauty Rhianna Umpleby, three, from Basildon, Essex. Mum Lisa, 22, says: We having a tough time of it today we just found out she has leukaemia.


    Nicky Byrne, 32, holds back tears as he admits: Seeing this little girl just brings a lump to my throat she was born on the same date and year as my little twins. I can't imagine what this family is going through.


    And for gay band member Mark Feehily, 30, the day makes him yearn to become a dad. Mark, 30, says: Visiting the wards has blown me away. To see the tiny faces look up at me and to make the kids laugh is the best feeling in the world.


    Just because youre gay doesnt mean those instincts towards wanting children go away. I think I make a great dad.


    Kian Egan, 31, cuddles fellow Irish boy Larry Connor from Co Wexford. and tells the three-year-old fighting two rare cancers: You re a long way from home. But you are having the best care possible.

    Great Ormond Street's Children's Charity needs £50million a year in donations to keep the hospital world class.
    It's thanks to the public that its good work can continue, says Shane. So please support the Daily Star Appeal.

     
     
     
     
    Celebrity chef will cook for superstars


    2011


    Celebrity chef Paul Heathcote will cook for
    pop stars Westlife after they ?bought?
    him at a charity auction.


    The restaurateur, who owns
    the Olive Press on Winckley Square, Preston and
    The Longridge Restaurant, put himself under
    the hammer as part of an auction which raised
    money for a number of charities.

    The band?s Shane Filan and
    Nicky Byrne bid £6,500 to get
    the chef to come to their home
    and cook for them at some point in the coming months.

    The event raised more than £200,000 for Macmillan Cancer Support, day centre Beechwood Centre in Stockport and the Adopt-A-School Project,
    which takes chefs into underprivileged schools
    to teach children about healthy eating.

    Mr Heathcote joked: ?I have told them that
    I want a private jet over there if they
    are expecting me to go and see them in Ireland.

    ?They have not got in touch yet to say
    when they want me to go over
    there but I am sure they will do at some point.

    ?I have put myself up for auction at
    these kind of things before and been bought
    by people like the cast from Coronation Street,
    but never mega pop-stars like these.

    ?I will just go there and do it, it should be a good laugh.?

    The Fashion Kicks event, organised by Manchester City goalkeeper Shay Given and his wife Jane,
    at Lancashire County Cricket Club?
    s The Point conference centre at
    its Old Trafford stadium was attended by a number of stars including X-Factor winner Alexandra Burke.

    Given?s team-mates Carlos Tevez, Nigel de Jong and Vincent Kompany also attended.

     
    Irish singer Nicky Byrne agreed
    to have his leg waxed
    on U.K. TV on Wednesday (02Mar11) for charity.

    The One Show host
    Alex Jones ripped the hair from his right limb
    after his bandmates donated cash to the Comic Relief appeal. 03/03/2011

    Westlife back Niamh’s appeal

    Published on Friday 24 February 2012 08:45


    Westlife are backing a campaign to raise money for life-saving cancer treatment for a five-year-old girl from Wellingborough.


    The Irish pop group has invited Niamh Curry and her family to meet them at one of their London concerts in May.

    Niamh has the rare and aggressive cancer neuroblastoma and her parents Chris and Samantha are trying to raise £450,000 to take their daughter to America after doctors exhausted their treatment options here in the UK.

    Band member Shane has been following her story on Twitter – Niamh’s Next Step is one of just 88 Twitter users the singer follows on the social media network, despite having 156,000 followers himself.

    His wife Gillian has been in touch with the Curry family to show her support for their campaign.

    Mr Curry said: “She’s been following us since we started and she sent us a message saying Shane and the rest of Westlife wanted to do something to help.

    “They have invited us down to meet them at their concert on May 12, and they have also given us VIP concert tickets and a meet and greet with Westlife as a prize for an auction we are having in May.

    “Gillian has also asked us to send over some special Niamh wristbands and she’s going to see if she can get the band to wear them. That would be amazing for us because it would raise so much awareness.”

    Westlife: Our Story

    a sneaky peek at part of Westlife: Our Story!

    Signing the actual record contract
    was amazing, recounts Nicky.
    It was in the first week of November 1998,
    while we were still on tour with Boyzone.
    A lot of the lads hadn't even been to London before;
    I was a little more experienced
    in that I'd been to America, Canada and much of Europe
    with family holidays and football tournaments.

    Louis was travelling to the record label separately,
    so it was literally the five of us travelling over on a plane to meet him there.
    We made our way from the airport to this big office block where the record company was based.
    I remember that standing there,
    ready to go in, we were just giddy kids.
    Looking back, as soon as we entered that doorway,
    all of our lives changed beyond recognition.

    We went into a big meeting room that is now Simon Cowell's private office but back then was just a huge conference room. Sonny Takhar was also there,
    Simon's right-hand man who has also been
    instrumental in our career.
    We knew it was a big record deal -
    we signed for five albums on a contract worth
    several million pounds, so, understandably at that age,
    we all thought that once we'd signed this piece of paper,
    we'd be millionaires.
    Of course that money is split over the albums and it has to go towards paying for some incredibly expensive stuff like accommodation, clothes, cars, video shoots,
    recording costs and so on.
    It's funny, looking back, because we'd all been looking at what cars we could afford.
    Rather than get proper carried away, I was thinking of buying maybe a Toyota MR2, you know, for 15 grand, say - nothing too ridiculous.
    That's how you think at that age.

    Signing that record deal was all my dreams come true, says Kian. It really was a lifelong dream and here we were, signing the contract, about to record an album, put singles out, travel the world in a band and make music. It was just amazing.

    It was the stuff of dreams, absolutely, recalls Shane.
    All my life I'd been looking forward
    to this moment.
    It was one of my major goals in life,
    but I never thought it would happen.
    I knew I wanted to get married and I hoped I'd be a father, but I never thought I'd get a massive record deal.
    It's such a prized achievement for a band.
    I can't really ever forget that excitement, that moment sitting in that office, all the thoughts buzzing around my head: We are going to be pop stars!
    We might have a hit single! Then the teenage thoughts kick in, like Maybe I'm going to be a millionaire! Then,
    most importantly of all, I can go and buy a new car!

    Autobiography


    Read part two of our fantastic preview of Westlife:
    Our Story!

    Signing the record deal was a huge decision for me,
    says Mark.
    I can clearly remember actually putting
    the pen on the page where I was supposed to sign.
    I can see it now,
    the pen moving in slow motion as I signed my name.
    At that precise second,
    a thousand thoughts were buzzing through my brain.
    I was excited about the deal,
    naturally, but I was very nervous
    about what it meant for my life back in Sligo.
    I was really scared that it might change things.
    Of course it changed everything beyond recognition.

    Subconsciously, I must have known this
    and that is
    why signing that piece of paper
    was such a big deal for me.
    There I was, an 18- year-old country boy,
    flying into this big corporate office in
    the middle of London, being surrounded
    by all these big names in the business, working
    for this worldwide company, sitting by accountants,
    lawyers, managers - it felt insane.
    I think in the back of
    my mind I'd been preparing to go to college,
    like a lot of kids do from around Sligo,
    then suddenly here
    I was signing a multi-million pound record deal with
    all the heavy responsibility that comes with that.
    Maybe for a kid brought up in Camden,
    it would have been an easy day out,
    but for me the contrast was so severe. Exciting, thrilling, scary, daunting, all at once.
    I'm just trying to be really honest here.

    As I signed,
    the noise of
    the city outside was as far from my idyllic
    country childhood
    as you can imagine.
    I could feel that distance sitting there in that room,
    writing my name on that sheet of paper.
    Right there and then,
    I put a barrier up. This is not going to change me,
    this is not going to change my life,
    I kept saying to myself.
    It was important at that point to have that feeling.
    It reassured me.
    I hadn't travelled like Nicky,
    I didn't have the confidence of Shane, Kian and Brian. But, ultimately, the draw to sing was greater than the desire for my life not to change,
    so I signed the contract.
    But I just kept telling myself it wouldn't really change anything. How wrong can you be?

    The business side of it hit us instantly, says Nicky.
    We had to set up a company,
    we hired an accountant, Alan McEvoy, and we got lawyers and tour managers lined up, all sorts. It was explained to us that the company, Blue Net,
    should own the band name because if any member were to leave then the band could continue
    without legal problems.
    We just agreed - it sounded reasonable and besides, no one was going to leave Westlife,
    were they?
    As soon as we signed the deal,
    we spoke with Louis and he said, Right, you're going straight into a recording studio.' Game on.
