WESTLIFE'S SHANE GETS IN SHAPE FOR BIG COMEBACK
Byline: PAUL MARTIN
SHANE Filan joins the chest-life as he shows off his new hot bod on holiday in Barbados.
The Westlife star flashed his buffed-up torso as he hit the beach for an early morning workout in the sun.
Dressed in long shorts and designer shades, the millionaire hit the golden sand for a three-mile run and stretching as part of his gruelling new fitness regime.
The singer is desperate to get in the best shape of his life for Westlife's huge comeback at the end of the year where they will attempt to conquer the charts again after a year away.
Shane, 29, told the Irish Daily Mirror last night: "I'm trying to get healthier and generally fitter."
"It's brilliant to be in the sunshine and able to do a work out on the beach."
"All the lads are in good shape at the minute. We're excited about making a return to the music business and we want to be in great shape to do it."
Shane has already decked out his Sligo mansion with EUR40,000 of gym equipment and hired best pal Brian as his personal trainer.
A pal revealed: "Shane has been really going for it in the gym over the last six months and he's really and he's really boosted his fitness. He has really beefed-up and has been doing loads of weights."
"He's completely changed his diet and has cut out sugars and caffeine and anything toxic. He's never looked or felt healthier."
"At home he has the whole gym done up with top equipment, mirrors and big screen TVs. It's a fitness fanatic's dream come true."
"He wants to be in the best shape of his life when Westlife make their comeback and he's really into the fitness side of things now."
Shane's band mates Kian Egan, Mark Feehily and Nicky Byrne have also been hitting the gym as they prepare for a new album and huge publicity drive later this year.
Kian has bulked up with weight exercises while Mark has lost nearly two stone in weight from a year ago.
Shane is holidaying in Barbados with his wife Gillian, 24, and two children Nicole, three, and eight-month-old Patrick.
Earlier this week he and his family joined newlyweds Kian and Jodi in their honeymoon mansion
