'Our secret confesssions'
It all came out when we talked to Westlife...

They've dominated the pop charts for the past decade,chalking up an astonishing 36 million record sales and 14 UK No 1 hits,but Britain's most successful boyband reakon the best is yet to come.

Watching Westlife at our exclusive London photo shoot goes a long way to explaining their success.Having ditched the sharp suits for funkier,more casual fashions,the four boys laugh,joke.take the mickey and play fight like only best mates can.

Nicky,Shane,Mark and Kian credit their friendship and families with keeping them sane,and there's no sign of this likeable Irirh foursome slowing down - or, perish the thought, splitting up like their recently reunited peers Take That and the Spice Girls. With their latest single a cover of Michael Buble hit Home, and a ninth album out whithin weeks, the boys reveal what really makes them tick-and why they'll be around for a long time to come


KIAN 'I stay in hostals on holiday'

Kian Egan,27,has been dating Hollyoaks actress Jodi Albert,24,for five years.They share homes outside London and in Sligo.

'We've always been known as the clean-cut boys of pop,but we do fall out of clubs at 4.00 am-we just don't get photographed doing it.Two of the boys are dad's now and I envy them,but they also envy me-the hassle they have with babysitters ! My relationship with Jodi is six to ten years behind what Shane and Nicky have.I want marriage and babies,and Jodi's the person I'm gong to do that with,but she's younger and her career's important to her.I don't want her crying 10 years down the line because she didn't get to fufil all her dreams.
I switch off by going surfing-I have 15 boards and I chase waves all around the world.I've been to Hawaii,the Maldives and Indonisia on surf trips- I'm always backpacking in hostels with my surf mates.They don't give a s**t who I am or what I do.It's taught me that there's alot more to life than being in a boyband and makinga load of money.My ambitions are moreabout having a family,being an amazing surfer and backpackingaround Australiaand Asia,with poor Jodi in a headlockwith me!She needs to see the real world and get a bit of dirt under her nails.'

NICKY 'We should model for Primark'

nicky Byrne,29,is married to Georgina,28,daughter of the irish PM Bertie Ahern.I n April they became proud parentsof twin sonsnRocco and Jay,and the family ivide their time between London and Dublin.

'In the past ten years we've had so many great times as a band but fatherhood is the most amazing thing I've ever experienced.It's something Georgina and I have waited a while for,as we've been together since we were 16.Rocco and Jay were born 2 months premature,which was very worrying.They were 2lb 14oz and 3lb 11oz
and spent five weeks in intensive care.But now those two little fella's are my life.one's so calm while the other one is a screamer!It's tough and were both busy all the time with them.We didn't want a nanny but when you're up at 4am ,you can start to change your mind!
Fair play to Take That for landing the 'Marks and Spencer advertising campaign-but I think for us to do Primark would be amazing.It's affordable to everyone.
Georgina gave me a shopping list after the babie's were born so I went to get it all from a local Primark.They even opened up a till especially for me !'

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MARK 'Britney feels like family to me'

Mark Feehily,27,announced he was gay two years ago.He goes out with former boyband star Kevin McDaidand lives in Sligo.
'I can't wait to see what everyone thinks of the new album.We've moved it up a step and I want to know what fans think.
We've been around along time now and it's getting better and better.It saddens me to see what's happening to britney.We met her a few times at the start of our careers and it's like watching your little cousin.The clincher for me was the children thing-I hope so much that she pulls it back together.
When I'm not working I love travel and photography and collect modern art.ilove the nightlife in cities like New York Syndney,Barcelona and in South America.In years to come I can see myself spending long periods there.
I was a Take That and Spice girls fan.We've shared stylists over the years.The girls would fire their hair stylist and then we'd get them! i was a big fan of Mel C's solo career-but she has a bit of a temper!'

Shane 'simon & Louis make us behave'

Shane Filan, 28, is married to Kians cousin, Gillian Walsh, 28. They have a daughter Nicole, two, and homes in London and Sligo.
'Westlife's secret is we get on and respect each other.We've never had a fight.We're so honest with each other that some times we offend each other,but thats why we've lasted nine years.simon Cowell,who signed us,and our manager,Lois Walsh,keep us on the straight and narrow.My biggest vice is Guiness.i used to hate it but I've develope a taste for it.I also have a thing for Pot noodles,I eat them a couple of times a week.i'm a golf freak and I love horses.
My brother's an international show jumper and I did think about making it a career myself.I still ride,and there's nothing like letting a horse go as fast as it can.i've started working out lately because I was never happy with my body and I started getting a belly.Maybe it's the guiness!'
