Workers begin building Westlife star Egan's wall

The builder who is erecting a stone wall to give Kian Egan privacy at his home has joked that he wish he knew how rich the ex-Westlife singer was before he priced the job.

Sean Waters, who runs a stone, block and fencing business at Maugherow, Co Sligo, started raising Kian’s outer boundary with quality stone at his home yesterday after An Bord Pleanála gave final planning clearance last week.

Mr Waters noted that Kian, 33, told his camp-mates on I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here that he had made enough cash with Westlife never to work again.
