Wedding: Couple's big magazine deal
By Jane Last
Westlife star Kian Egan was exchanging vows with stunning Jodi Albert this afternoon.
Jodi became the third member of the exclusive 'Westwives' club, following in the footsteps of Georgina Ahern and Gillian Filan.
The actress (25) and the singer (29) were set to tie the knot during a touching ceremony in Barbardos.
Details of the wedding were shrouded in mystery in the run-up to the event as the couple were keen to protect their reported deal with OK magazine for €900,000.
However, it is believed that the loved-up pair's nuptials were planned for Irish billionaire Dermot Desmond's Sandy Lane Hotel. The luxury resort is just a short distance away from where the couple had been staying.
However, a wedding and magazine deal seemed to be the furthest thing from their minds yesterday as the pair took to the beach.
Pretty Jodi, sporting a pink bikini, was joined by Hollyoaks co-stars Carly Stenson and Ali Bastian. Meanwhile, Kian showed few pre-wedding nerves as he enjoyed a spot of snorkelling with bandmates Shane Filan and Mark Feehily.
The couple were expected to say "I do" under a floral arch on a beach.
A team of more than 20 security guards has been flown to the island to ensure that nothing spoils their big day. The group patrolled the grounds of the wedding venue to keep the paparazzi away.
Guests were expected to be driven to the top secret wedding destination in a series of blacked-out coaches in a bid to shield them from public view.
Kian and Jodi have remained tightlipped on the details of their big day in order to protect their big-money magazine deal.
Last night, Jodi headed to the mystery wedding destination with her mum and other members of her bridal party while Kian enjoyed his last night as a single man in a hotel, with family and friends.
Guests were arriving on the holiday isle all day yesterday. Nicky Byrne and wife Georgina Ahern arrived for the special weekend and band manager Louis Walsh arrived from his bolthole in Miami.
Louis claimed that he was in the dark as to where the wedding would take place.
"I've just been told to meet up at a hotel and take it from there," he said.
