Westlife To Perform At The Childline Concert
Solo Cheryl for Childline show - Girls Aloud babe's Irish debut at O2
Exclusive by Paul Martin
Pop babe Cheryl Cole will stage her first solo performance in Ireland at the Childline concert, the Irish Daily Mirror can reveal.
The Girls Aloud star has signed up for the massive event and hopes to wow fans with tracks from her new album Three Words.
Organisers were planning to keep the news secret until next month but we can reveal she will be joined by girl band arch-rivals The Saturdays at the bash.
And Ireland's biggest pop act ever, Westlife, will make their stage comeback for their first show since they thrilled a sell-out crowd at Croke Park last Summer.
A show insider revealed last night: "It's going to be the biggest Childline ever with the best line-up of stars. It's a huge coup to get Cheryl Cole making her first solo appearance in Ireland - she will be a massive draw.
"And it goes without saying that Westlife making their comeback at the O2 is a massive thing too."
Cheryl will be desperate to steal the thunder from The Saturdays who have been locked in a chart battle with Girls Aloud for the past year. A source close to the singer revealed: "There is a bit of friction between the two bands to say the least.
"The Saturdays are clearly trying to go after Girls Aloud fans so Cheryl will be out there to really steal the spotlight from them.
"I'm sure there will be an awkward moment if they bump into each other backstage."
Westlife will mark their comeback by closing the show with a series of their biggest hits and new material.
They will perform six songs including two from a new album that they will release early next year.
The band are plotting a major comeback after taking a year off to concentrate on family life.
Singer Shane Filan told the Irish Daily Mirror: "We can't wait to get back on the stage. We feel we have our strongest material for years.
"It was fantastic to have a bit of normality for a year but now we're itching to get back. Our new album is going to be entirely new music - there will be no covers."

Nicky's fears for mature manband
Westlife star Nicky Byrne fears the ageing manband may have to take things easy on stage in future - in a bid to avoid injury.
Hunky Nicky - who confessed to being left in agony after just one game of football this week - admitted he's terrified that the band is getting old.
The chart-topper, who turns 31 next month, shared his panic on his Twitter site after waking up aching following a football match.
"Played football last night - foot is aching", he tweeted. "I don't remember hurting it but I couldn't walk this morning. What's that about?"
Problem
"I remember playing three or four games a day no problem. Not now. I'm in pain.
"Is that an age thing?" asked the worried pop star." If so I wanna be 18 again."
Nicky also joked that he and bandmates Shane Filan (30), Kian Egan (29) and Mark Feehily (29) may find it difficult to get off their stools on stage.
"Pipe and slippers are calling - do you still think I can manage to stand up for the key change?" he asked.
"When we do eventually come back we'll have to be carefull getting up from our stools too quickly - with our age vertigo can be a problem.
"Better call the lads now to practise slow stand ups."

Westlife 3 Piece Perfume Gift Set - Limited Supply!
The first fantastic fragrance from Westlife is available in a gift set with a 100ml body lotion and 100ml shower gel for only £19.95!
After continually being asked by fans both on their websites and in person as well as in interviews what their favourite female fragrances were, the boys decided that perhaps they could develop a fragrance specially for the fans to thank them for their continued support over the last ten years.
Taking inspiration from their favourite feminine accords and with creative input from expert perfumers, Westlife ‘X’ was created.
The light sparkling and feminine fragrance opens with fresh crisp top notes of uplifting lemon, bergamot and blackcurrant leaf, enriched by a full floral heart of rose, geranium, white lily and heady jasmine transcending to a softly sweet and powdery base of vanilla pod and white musks.

Flying Without Wings 7th most popular song for wedding first dances
Lonestar's Amazed voted most popular song for wedding first dances
Amazed, the love ballad by American country band Lonestar, is the most popular song chosen by newly-weds for their first dance, a new poll has found.
The pop song came top in a poll of 2,000 wedding videographers, who were asked for the most requested songs for the bride and groom's traditional dance.
Originally released in 1999, the song spent 22 weeks in the UK singles charts and topped the American 'Billboard' country singles charts for eight weeks.
I Don't Want to Miss a Thing by American rock band Aerosmith, released in 1998, came second.
The track, which peaked at number 4 in the UK singles charts, was described by Simon Cowell in series seven of the talent show American Idol as "one of the great songs of all time".
Shania Twain's 1998 hit From This Moment On came third, and Bryan Adams' (Everything I Do) I Do It For You) was the fourth most popular choice.
Released in 1991 and featured as part of the soundtrack for the film Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, the song spent a record-breaking 16 consecutive weeks at number one in the charts, also topping the charts in 10 other European countries.
Selling 1.53 million copies, it was the best-selling UK single since the 1984 'Band Aid' record.
At number five on the poll conducted by PRS For Music, Take That's Rule the World was the only track by a UK artist to enter the top five.
Written for the film Stardust in 2007, the song was the fifth highest-selling single of the year, despite only being released in October, and remained in the top 100 in the UK charts for almost 18 months.
It was also the most recent release to feature in the poll, which favoured ballads from the 1980s and 90s.
Van Morrison's Have I Told You Lately That I Love You, from 1989, came sixth, and Westlife's Flying Without Wings was number seven in the poll.
From Westlife's self-titled debut album, the 1999 track was the Irish band's third UK number one.
Another popular 90s ballad was Robbie Williams' greatest commercial success, the double-platinum single Angels, which came in at number 8 at the poll.
The only artist to have two songs in the top 10, Shania Twain's 1998 single Still The One is ninth in the survey.
Hawaiian singer-songwriter Jack Johnson's Better Together, released in 2006, completed the list at number 10.
Ellis Rich, chairman of PRS for Music, said: "The song at the first dance tends to make weddings more memorable and extra special.
"It is a testament to the power and universality of music that it always accompanies the big events in our lives and gives them extra meaning."
Top 10 most popular wedding first dance songs:
1. Lonestar - Amazed
2. Aerosmith - Don't Want To Miss A Thing
3. Shania Twain - From This Moment On
4. Bryan Adams - (Everything I do) I Do It For You
5. Take That - Rule The World
6. Van Morrison - Have I told you Lately
