They famously performed at Wayne and Coleen Rooney's nuptials back in 2008.

And in a clip which will air on Saturday night's Jonathan Ross Show, Westlife's Kian Egan revealed that he got so drunk at the Rooney wedding that he threw up in the bath after being carried out by security.

Oh wow! Westlife's Kian Egan has revealed that he got so drunk at the Coleen and Wayne Rooney's 2008 wedding that he threw up in the bath after being carried out by security

While chatting about performing at Wayne and Coleen Rooney's wedding, Shane clarified: 'It was actually Coleen who booked us for Wayne as a surprise. We thought it was the other way around - we thought Coleen might be the fan.'

'He came up and sang with us. He kind of rapped it. It was only a small wedding, I think there were 70 people at it. It was the smallest gig we ever did but it was fun.'

Kian recalled the night of the wedding following their performance, saying: 'I definitely got a bit carried away. We started having a few drinks and before you know it you're at the bar doing shots with one of Wayne's cousins or something like that.'

He added: 'I remember being carried out by our security and going back up to our dressing room in the hotel and vomiting into the bathtub!'

Speaking about their manager Louis Walsh, Nicky Byrne explained: 'The thing is at the beginning Louis was very much a behind the scenes manager. He started off way back decades ago managing show bands and he eventually got into pop music.

'He ended up a celebrity himself. So, there was a turning point where he was like "Hang on a minute. I actually know what it feels like to be on your side of the camera."

'And then he had a change of heart and he very much now understands what our life is. He's much more empathetic.'

Of working with Simon Cowell, Kian added: 'When we started off with Louis Walsh and Simon Cowell and both of them weren't famous.

'They were both very successful in their own right but they weren't famous. During our career they became some of the most famous men on the planet. More famous than us.'

Kian recalled: 'There was a very funny moment in a nightclub with Louis and Simon in LA. At this point, Simon was like Brad Pitt in America.

'When we were in that club, everybody wanted to be near him. We were a pop band but Simon had become this global superstar.'

Speaking about how they're all now fathers, Mark Feehily discussed being the most recent band member to have a child after welcoming a little girl named Layla.

Shane Filan said: 'They have a backstage crew going on. There are ten of them backstage now. They're so lovely.'

Revealing their children have formed their own band, Kian Egan gushed: 'Westlife Two Cousins is what they call themselves. Shane is married to my first cousin so that actually makes our children related.

'They've formed a little band. Nicole is writing songs and Nicky's little girl Gia was only 6 at the time - she was security.'

Kian added: 'We always wanted to film them because they were actually quite good. Gia would be like "No, you're not allowed to film." She would be coming around and pulling the phones off us.'

At the end of the show on Saturday, Westlife will perform 'Starlight' from their new album.
