In Surrey Westlife's Shane lives the high life


Westlife crooner Shane Filan, 30, and his wife Gillian are enjoying life in their new Surrey bolthole - a Georgian house in Cobham which is set in half an acre.
'It's private and we have great neighbours. We plan to spend half the year here and half in Ireland,' says Shane, who also owns a mock Tudor mansion in Carraroe, Co. Sligo.
Shane is already familiar with the area as he takes his children Nicole Rose, five, Patrick Michael, one, and six month old Shane Peter to near by Chessington World of Adventures, and he enjoys playing golf at Wentworth.
Shane and brother Finbarr are spearheading a luxury housing development in Sligo where they hope to build 63 apartments.

10,000 Fans Expected At Ashton Gate For Westlife Gig

10,000 people are expected at Ashton Gate this evening to watch Westlife perform.

The "man band" have sold 43 million records worldwide, with 14 number one singles and 10 chart-topping albums.

With a capacity of 15,000 at Bristol City's ground, there are still around 5,000 tickets left for the gig.

Bosses are hoping it is going to be a family event, and have now released a special family ticket for two adults and two children, that can be purchased for £50.

Group Managing Director of Bristol City FC, Doug Harman is expecting a great crowd:

"I think they've had some really good reviews from their tour to date, and we anticipate a really good show. We've just released two more blocks for general sale to families, so we can get two adults and two kids in for £50. The weather forecast is brilliant, so if people have got no plans we recommend they come and see a really good show with us."
