Reports: Egan and Byrne ‘barely speaking’

Former Westlife singers Kian Egan and Nicky Byrne have developed a bitter rivalry because Kian, 33, was paid £40,000 (€47,956) more to take part in ITV's 'I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here!' earlier this month than Nicky, 35, earned for appearing on the BBC series 'Strictly Come Dancing' last year.

A source told the Daily Star newspaper: "They're barely speaking; they're all looking out for number one now. Nicky was angry and hurt by the difference in their pay-outs as it creates an unhealthy competition among them - he wonders why Kian is worth so much more than he is."
