CELEBRITIES going to pop star Kian Egan and Jodi Albert's wedding in Barbados will have to clear swine flu screening areas.
Stars have been warned by government officials they will be monitored and questioned before they get off the plane when they touch down on the Caribbean island.
Dozens of stars including Kian's Westlife bandmates, Louis Walsh and Ronan Keating are flying out next week.
Most will jet out directly from London on flights that will be subject to strict health checks when they land.
The first suspected cases of the deadly bug emerged on Thursday in the Caribbean triggering new safety measures.
Health officials in Belize were probing at least three suspected cases of the virus. A govern- ment source in Barbados warned: "Everyone, whether they are a tourist or a celebrity, will be checked coming in.
"There will be special monitoring and screening areas and they will be questioned before they get off the plane.
"We want everyone to have a fantastic time here but we must also not compromise people's health." Kian and Jodi will enjoy a lavish wedding ceremony next Friday when they tie the knot in front of around 120 guests.
OK! Magazine have bought the rights to the big day for around EUR600,000 and the couple are already on the island making last- minute preparations for the big day.
A source close to Kian revealed: "They know there is a bit of a fuss about swine flu but they're not going to let that ruin their time over there."
