Brian McFadden has hit out at his former Westlife bandmate Kian Egan after he criticised him for his new venture.
Singer Brian and former Boyzone star Keith Duffy have teamed up for a tour of Ireland and the UK with a show about being in a boyband.
After hearing of the production, Kian said: “I was scratching my head when I first saw it.
“It’s a bit of an odd one – a member of Westlife who left the band after four years decides to use half the name for whatever it is that they’re doing.”
During an appearance on the Late Late Show, Brian hit back: “I was actually in Westlife for more than four years but maths was never Kian’s thing in fairness.
“A lot of people probably did get confused because a lot of people probably thought we were doing a McBusted.”
Supporting his friend, Keith added: “At the end of the day myself and Brian are teaming up to do a show and talk about 20 years in the business...
“A saucer of milk for Kian please.”
And Kian was still seething, later saying on 98FM: “From the perspective of someone who spent 15 years in Westlife it was really aggravating.
“It was really unfair on the fans that everybody thought that this was what’s happening, you know what Westlife and Boyzone were getting together to do a tour.”
Calm down, boys!
