CMU reports the following in the world of Westlife.

Westlife manager and Popstars judge Louis Walsh reckons Bryan McFadden will regret leaving the boy band. Despite saying he could never replace McFadden in the group because he was so damn good, Walsh yesterday told the Daily Record that he doubts Bryan has what it takes to make it as a solo artist
(presumably that means what McFadden was damn good at was standing at the
back looking pretty).

Walsh also reckons Bryan's jungle winning wife Kerry wanted her husband to
stay in the boy band: "Kerry was devastated he left. She didn't want him to
do it. It's a great band and he could make a lot more money."
