Irish boyband WESTLIFE have invited ROBBIE WILLIAMS to join their comeback tour.

Westlife have been without a fifth member since Brian MCFadden quit in 2004, and Williams has been band-less since he walked away from their rivals Take That in 1995.

And Mandy hitmaker Nicky Byrne is convinced their are a perfect match. He tells British radio station Heart, "Take That should take Brian back and we'll have Robbie."

Kian Egan adds, "If I was a member of Take That I wouldn't want Robbie back. I think they're doing very well without him and Robbie's doing well on his own. I think people are going to see Take That and not Robbie Williams."

WESTLIFE were on the verge of splitting after getting bored of doing cover versions.

The all-conquering Irish manband, who release new single Home on Monday, pleaded with Simon Cowell to find them some original material.

Now their forthcoming Back Home collection is bulging with pure pop from their Flying Without Wings collabor-ator - and much more. Nicky Byrne, 29, told me: “After the big band-theme album Allow Us To Be Frank was our least successful, we thought we were making our last album on Face To Face.

“If you’d asked me then, Kim, I’d have said we were on our arse. Then You Raise Me Up was the biggest comeback.

“We told Simon we needed something to get us hungry again this time. He said he’d search high and low for original songs.
“The label wanted us to do Westlife: At The Movies - a great f***ing marketing idea but we felt we were drifting. We needed to feel like us and make another Flying Without Wings.

“Back Home is full of great pop songs.

“Pop has been starved, everything is so the same.

“The single is a cover but it’s 90% original material and I think this is our best album.”

Nicky also wanted a chance to re-create their ’90s chart battle with the Spice Girls.

And Back Home is released on November 5 - the same day the Spices’ greatest hits was due, but they changed the date.
Nicky said: “It would’ve been nice to battle again. It was amazing last time.

“Realistically both bands would’ve been winners. Back in the day we were all fans of them. I used to think Victoria was sexy and Emma was the cutest.

“But I won’t be buying their single - I’d like to think I’d get one for free.”

It all came out when we talked to Westlife...

They've dominated the pop charts for the past decade, chalking up an astonishing 36 million record sales and 14 UK No 1 hits, but Britain's most successful boyband reckon the best is yet to come.

Watching Westlife at our exclusive London photo shoot goes a long way to explaining their success. Having ditched the sharp suits for funkier, more casual fashions, the four boys laugh, joke, take the mickey and play fight like only best mates can.

Nicky, Shane, Mark and Kian credit their friendship and families with keeping them sane, and there's no sign of this likeable Irish foursome slowing down - or, perish the thought, splitting up like their recently reunited peers Take That ant the Spice Girls. With their latest single a cover of Michael Buble hit Home, and a ninth album out within weeks, the boys reveal what really makes them tick-and why they'll be around for a long time to come.

KIAN 'I stay in hostels on holiday'

Kian Egan, 27, has been dating Hollyoaks actress Jodi Albert, 24, for five years. They share homes outside London and in Sligo.

'We've always been known as the clean-cut boys of pop, but we do fall out of clubs at 4.00 am-we just don't get photographed doing it. Two of the boys are dads now and I envy them, but they also envy me-the hassle they have with babysitters! My relationship with Jodi is six to ten years behind what Shane and Nicky have. I want marriage and babies, and Jodi's the person I'm gong to do that with, but she's younger and her career's important to her. I don't want her crying 10 years down the line because she didn't get to fulfil all her dreams.

I switch off by going surfing-I have 15 boards and I chase waves all around the world. I’ve been to Hawaii, the Maldives and Indonesia on surf trips- I'm always backpacking in hostels with my surf mates. They don't give a s**t who I am or what I do. It’s taught me that there's a lot more to life than being in a boyband and making a load of money. My ambitions are more about having a family, being an amazing surfer and backpacking around Australia and Asia, with poor Jodi in a headlock with me! She needs to see the real world and get a bit of dirt under her nails.'

NICKY 'We should model for Primark'

Nicky Byrne,29,is married to Georgina,28,daughter of the Irish PM Bertie Ahern. In April they became proud parents of twin sons Rocco and Jay, and the family ivied their time between London and Dublin.

'In the past ten years we've had so many great times as a band but fatherhood is the most amazing thing I've ever experienced. It’s something Georgina and I have waited a while for, as we've been together since we were 16.Rocco and Jay were born 2 months premature, which was very worrying. They were 2lb 14oz and 3lb 11oz
and spent five weeks in intensive care. But now those two little fellas are my life. One’s so calm while the other one is a screamer! It’s tough and were both busy all the time with them. We didn't want a nanny but when you're up at 4am, you can start to change your mind!

Fair play to Take That for landing the 'Marks and Spencer advertising campaign-but I think for us to do Primark would be amazing. It’s affordable to everyone.

Georgina gave me a shopping list after the babies were born so I went to get it all from a local Primark. They even opened up a till especially for me!’

MARK 'Britney feels like family to me'

Mark Feehily, 27, announced he was gay two years ago. He goes out with former boyband star Kevin McDaid and lives in Sligo.

'I can't wait to see what everyone thinks of the new album. We’ve moved it up a step and I want to know what fans think.

We've been around a long time now and it's getting better and better. It saddens me to see what's happening to Britney. We met her a few times at the start of our careers and it's like watching your little cousin. The clincher for me was the children thing - I hope so much that she pulls it back together.

When I'm not working I love travel and photography and collect modern art. I love the nightlife in cities like New York Sydney, Barcelona and in South America. In years to come I can see myself spending long periods there.

I was a Take That and Spice girls fan. We've shared stylists over the years. The girls would fire their hair stylist and then we'd get them! I was a big fan of Mel C's solo career - but she has a bit of a temper!'

SHANE 'Simon & Louis make us behave'

Shane Filan, 28, is married to Kian’s cousin, Gillian Walsh, 28. They have a daughter Nicole, two, and homes in London and Sligo.

'Westlife's secret is we get on and respect each other. We’ve never had a fight. We’re so honest with each other that some times we offend each other, but that’s why we've lasted nine years. Simon Cowell, who signed us, and our manager, Louis Walsh, keep us on the straight and narrow. My biggest vice is Guinness. I used to hate it but I've developed a taste for it. I also have a thing for Pot noodles, I eat them a couple of times a week. I’m a golf freak and I love horses.

My brother's an international show jumper and I did think about making it a career myself. I still ride, and there's nothing like letting a horse go as fast as it can. I’ve started working out lately because I was never happy with my body and I started getting a belly. Maybe it's the Guinness!'
