It’s a tough job but someone has to do it. And I’ve spent worse days than eyeing up Kian Egan, as he hit the waves in Barbados.
There is no doubt about it, the Sligo lad sent temperatures soaring, as he tore around the sea on a jetski in front of his hotel.
In fairness I don’t think there’s a women in the world who could steal him away from Jodi Abert, as the pair are inseparable.
Sceptics can look away now. This pair are really in love. Even after living in each other pockets during Kian’s year off, they have rarely spent one moment without each other, as they prepared for this moment.
From breakfast to dinner to bedtime, there’s never one without the other.
And as they ate brekkie on the eve of the wedding the pair couldn’t have looked more natural and at ease with each other.
Then again it would be hard to be in a bad mood on this island.
With turquoise seas, white sands and laidback locals this is heaven on earth.
I met a Barbadian on the beach yesterday, called Eddie and he told me about his time working on a reiki on actor Pewter Otolle, he didn’t know who Westlife were, but he knew the score.
"That fella got himself a pretty lady, but your Irish men are going to fry like that chicken."
He’s not wrong there.

Set For Dream Barbados Wedding
Westwife-to be Jodi Albert, takes a stroll in the sunny Caribbean, showing off the sexy curves, that will today make Kian Egan one of the luckiest men alive.
The 25 year old beauty, and fiance Kian Egan, were snapped relaxing on a Barbados beach as the hours counted down, to the showbiz wedding of the year.
Londoner Jodi has never looked so good, while a buffed up Kian, 29, obviously had hit the gym, a lot during the bands year off.
The loved-up pair, spent yesterday making final preparations, for their secret nuptials, and even had time for sunbathing, and a spot of watersports.
Some of the boys, including Kian's, fellow band member Mark Feehily and his partner Kevin McDaid, had a ball speeding around on jetskis, in the clear blue waters.
Kian and Jodi also took part in a rehearsal, for the ceremony followed by a diner with friends and family.
Meanwhile a huge security operation was underway on the paradise island, to protect the couple’s 900.000 deal with UK magazine glossy OK! Magazine.
Whilst the magazine is keen to keep under wraps the location, The Irish Sun has learnt that it is just a short drive from where they have based their dream wedding.
The couple are expected to exchange vows under a floral arch facing the shores of the Caribbean around about lunchtime.
Guests will be hidden from public view, and ushered into coaches under tunnels of black cloth before being whisked of to the ceremony.
An excited Jodi headed off for the wedding destination last night with her bridal party including her mum and sister by her side.
The sexy baby left, future husband Kian, to enjoy his last night of freedom with is family and friends at the hotel.
There were no signs of nerves from the other side, after spending nearly 2 weeks relaxing, together at their dream destination.
Meanwhile the last guests started to arrive yesterday, on the island.
Nicky Byrne was the last Westlifer to arrive, and make an appearance, with wife Georgina for a weekend in the sun.
They left two year old twins, Rocco and Jay at home.
Band manager Louis Walsh, later arrived from Miami, and checked into a hotel 5 miles from where Jodi and Kian are based.
Even he has no idea where the wedding will take place. Hollyoaks star including curvy star Carly Stevenson, and her soap boyfriend Ricky Whicttle cause a stir with their beach bods.
One onlooker commented, “I have no idea who they are but they look good.”
Jodi’s Irish girlband pals arrived at the island on Monday, and revealed they can’t wait to watch their bandmate tie the knot.
Brunette Sharon Condon, revealed "It has been such a fantastic week so far, and we can’t really wait for the wedding.”
And fellow band member, Corrina Duran, “Its a dream really, we were all out on the boat, snorkelling and having a laugh. There’s a really good party vibe."
“We are going to take it easy to the big day. The sun can really zap your energy.”
They have been putting on amazing parties all week.

Former Hollyoaks babe Jodi Albert, and Sligo singer Kian Egan, are due to tie the knot in a paradise ceremony.
Jodi looked stunning as she showed off her curves, on the white sandy beaches of Barbados.

"Jodi and her pals have been sipping cocktails and sunbathing."
The source added "Kian and Jodi are obviously deeply in love, they’ve been smooching in full view of their guests."

Paul Martin’s Barbados diary!
It is easy to see why Kian and Jodi have chosen Barbados for their dream wedding - even with 600,000 magazine deal, they both could not help but feel very laid back in this lovely part of the world.
Do you remember the ad about lilt when a Rastafarian man gets stuck behind women on a donkey on a deserted dusty road and declares its total gridlock? That pretty sums up about this island.
Even the paparazzi around here would tell you there is no need to panic and rush here.
Like yesterday for instance when I went out on a catamaran around the bay with the Westlife lads. Within minutes of heading out on the cruise we paparazzi in hot pursuit of you.
These weren’t your normal fleet street snappers who would stop at nothing to get that big money bikini shot. Instead we tailed by two big Barbadian women, one peddling in a peddle whilst the other opted to chase us in a canoe.
It was like a scene out of Benny Hill. They soon realised they were fighting in vane to keep up with us then they headed back to the beach to a barbecue. No need to panic man...
Then as we arrived back, one of the locals tried to acquaint himself with me on the private beach outside the hotel.
“Me name is Mrrrrrrrrrrrr Reasonablllllllllllllllllle.”, he told me, putting his fist out to hit mine, and adding for good measure, Global peace Man, Global peace.
He helpfully continued. "If you need anything, anything at all just ask for Mrrrrrrrrr Rasonabbleeeeee, and me will come to you brother. Until then you chill out man..."
Just as I was thinking the Barbadian folk are about the friendliest bunch of people I have ever met, since my last visit to Donegal, Jodi and Kian put me right over breakfast.
"When Mr. Reasonable says anything at all, what he really means is any kind of drugs at all." explained Jodi.
"There’s also a man running around calling himself Da Medicine Dr. And he doesn’t mean, a box of parcetamol or rennies."
It looks like I still have a lot to learn, on this island. And there was me just hoping to get my hands on a can of lilt.
Is that so unreasonable...

A wedding gift from Paddy Power betting
There's no question as to what Kian and Jodi's most unusual wedding day gift will be. A betting docket that could be worth £50.000 Euros to the couple.
There is just one problem… The couple’s first child will have to either become Taoiseach or play rugby or soccer for Ireland, for them to pocket the big day payout.
Bookies Paddy Power sent the gift to their hotel yesterday with a 100 euro stake.
Kian said, "I’m holding onto this, and going to hire the best soccer coaches in Ireland for the young one. When we have a young one that is."

Waves Of Joy
Bouncers and security will patrol the waters, of a Barbados beach on Jetskis, as Kian Egan and Jodi Albert tie the knot today.
A huge security operation will be launched today, to keep the paparazzi away as the Westlife singer, and his beautiful bride, exchange vows, in front of 120 friends and family.
The couple have sold the exclusive picture rights to OK Magazine for 600.000 and are desperate to stop pictures leaking out.
A 20 strong security team, will guard every corner of their wedding retreat, and lock down the surrounding area.

Guests will be transported to the venue by black out coaches, and led through a covered tunnel area, to the venue where they will be treated to a six course gourmet meal cooked based on traditional Caribbean cuisine.
As the final touches were put in place for the big day, the happy couple joined pals, to lap up the sunshine, Jodi, 25, showed off her figure to die for, as she hit the beach for a bikini stroll.
She wondered along the golden sands, in a switching 33 degrees Celsius sunshine, at her Tamarind Cove hotel hideaway, while 29 year old Kian showed off his beach body by hitting the waves, and spent the afternoon jet skiing, and surfing with his fellow bandmates.
Last night band manager Louis Walsh flew in from Miami, while Kian’s bandmate Nicky Byrne, and his wife Georgina, jetted in from Ireland just in time, to join a final knees up, and celebrate the groom's last night of freedom.
Kian and his pals all gathered for traditional rum cocktails, in the hotel pool bar, and staged a late night karaoke session.
Jodi spent the evening surrounded by her girlfriends and family for a pampering and beauty session in her suite.
Jodi's dress is being kept safe by her mum, but sources say she will wear traditional white and have flowers in her hair.

Westlife's Kian and Jodi exchange vows on paradise island
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.

Jetset fly to Barbados for Jodi and Kian's showbiz wedding
By Richie Taylor
WESTLIFE star Kian Egan and his fiancee, the former 'Hollyoaks' actress Jodi Albert, will tie the knot in sun-kissed Barbados at midday today in one of the most highly-anticipated showbiz weddings of the year.
The 29-year-old Sligo singer will be the third member of the boy band to wed, joining Nicky Byrne and Shane Filan, while Mark Feehily has been with gay partner Kevin McDaid for over two years.
Kian, aspiring pop singer Jodi (25), and some close friends and family members have been relaxing at the famous Sandy Lane resort on the Caribbean island all week.
But up until last night the couple would not reveal if they were marrying at the luxury Tamarin Cove Hotel, which is the wedding party's base, or at the exclusive Coral Reef Club.
The couple have signed a deal with an English glossy magazine for exclusive rights to cover the wedding and there has been a complete shutdown about their plans.
The deal is believed to be worth close to €1m -- and guests will not be allowed to take photographs at either the ceremony or the reception.
Today's guest-list will include Kian's three bandmates and their partners as well as Jodi's four bandmates from her new girl group, which has yet to be officially named. And pop guru Louis Walsh, who manages both Kian and Jodi, is also a guest.
Kian proposed to Jodi on Christmas Day 2007 after four years of dating.
