Brian McFadden admits he's jealous

7 January 2008 - Brian McFadden will be "jealous" when former band Westlife perform their 10th anniversary show this year.

Brian, who left the Irish boy band in 2004, has no regrets about pursuing a solo career but admits he is envious of their plans to celebrate a decade in the music industry with a huge concert in their homeland.

He said: "I don't have any regrets leaving Westlife and I don't wish I was with them again. In saying that though, I will be envious the night they finally play the Croke Park stadium in Dublin. That is the pinnacle of any Irish artist's career."

Brian added to Britain's Hello! magazine: "But I am so delighted to see the boys doing so well. They are the hardest working act I have ever seen. They deserve the success they are getting now."

Last year, Westlife insisted they wouldn't be inviting Brian to join them on stage for their special show.

Kian Egan said: "Brian isn't in Westlife any more. Why would he be joining us? He will be there watching us perform, kicking and screaming inside that he left the band."

Nicky Byrne added: "I am sure he will want to come and cheer us on."
