SHANE FILAN AT WEEKEND
By Paul Martin
SHANE Filan's wife gave him a surprise present for his 30th birthday - by revealing she's pregnant for the third time.
Gorgeous Gillian, 30, broke the news to her Westlife hubby just before his birthday bash.
The pop sensation couldn't wait to spread the news to stunned guests after he blew out the candles on his cake.
Shane staged a spectacular champagne celebration at his sprawling Sligo mansion for special guests.
And he even joined his Westlife bandmates in an impromptu gig for the 150 guests.
The Irish Daily Mirror was invited along for the big night as Shane revealed in a speech: "My wife Gillian has been asking me a lot about what I'd like for my birthday. I just told her to surprise me.
"I thought she was going to get me a watch or something. But she has definitely surprised me - by telling me she is pregnant with our third child."
Shane's family and friends burst into huge applause and hit the dance floor in celebration as the star toasted the good news with a glass of champagne.
As the drinks continued to flow Shane told the Irish Daily Mirror: "I'm absolutely delighted with the news. Gillian and I decided to announce it tonight as a surprise for everyone.
"The baby is due in January and we are both so excited. I feel like I am on top of the world. Tonight is the perfect night to celebrate.
"Gillian has gone to so much effort to plan everything and it's been a great party."
The couple already have a daughter Nicole, three, and 10-month-old son Patrick but Shane has always said he was planning to add to the clan. Gillian converted their six-bedroom mansion into a spectacular party zone on Saturday.
Security men guarded the front gates and we were led through the breathtaking home and sprawling gardens into a marquee in the back.
And a team of top chiefs, waiters and cocktail bar staff were drafted in to cater for guests who were served unlimited champagne, cocktails and wine as birthday boy Shane mingled.
Then the singer's bandmates Nicky Byrne, Kian Egan and Mark Feehily joined him on stage and performed their first concert together in over a year.
As the stars belted out hits including World Of Our Own, Flying Without Wings and You Raise Me Up, their partners - Georgina Ahern, Gillian Filan, Jodi Albert and Mark's boyfriend Kevin McDaid - danced in front of the stage.
