NICKY Byrne felt a "burning embarrassment" when he was in Westlife.

The 37-year-old admitted it was frustrating not to be given the lead vocals in the successful pop group, which disbanded in 2012.

However, he said he loved the experience of being in the boyband with Markus Feehily, Shane Filan, Kian Egan and Brian McFadden, who quit the group back in 2004.


He told Hello magazine: "In my heart there was burning embarrassment and frustration that you're buried.

"But when you enter a band like Westlife, you effectively win the lottery and count your lucky stars. On tour is where I came alive."

The Dubliner is set to represent Ireland at the Eurovision song contest in Sweden on 14 May.

Nicky admitted there was no way he'd have been allowed enter the song contest while he was in the band.

He said: "When Westlife were around, our label would never have considered Eurovision."

However, he told RTE TEN that the boys are more than supportive of his shot at Eurovision glory.

He said: "We've been in contact recently more than we ever have been in the past four years - emails and texts have been flying around.

"Anything I've seen from the boys in their own personal endeavours when they've been interviewed by the media has all been very positive, and privately they've all been very positive.

"I think they've all probably gone 'Only Nicky would do something like this'."

Nicky will be singing his own track Sunlight at the contest next month and said he's excited about his solo career.

All of his former bandmates have already released their own material.

He said: "I'm the master of my own destiny now."

However, his former manager Louis Walsh doesn't think his song is good enough to win.

Louis told The Sun: “I just don’t think it is a winning song. I am sure he will do top ten. You need a big ballad with a big key change and that’s not Nicky’s song.



“It is a big TV show and if you have a good song you should use it as a way to promote that. I think that is what will happen to Nicky, who, don’t forget, has an album coming out.”

He added: “He can use the Eurovision to get his music to a global television audience.”

Meanwhile, one of the tracks on his upcoming solo album - also called Sunlight - is dedicated to his wife Georgina Ahern.

The couple have been together since they were teenagers and have three children together, eight-year-old twin boys Jay and Rocco and Mia, two.

Opening about the track, he said: "There is a song called Kissing In Car Parks, which is about being caught kissing at the school gates.

"Georgina got in trouble for doing just that."
