He has dubbed himself "the Robbie Williams of the band". So in 2011 expect to be hearing a lot more of Mullingar singer Niall Horan of boy band One Direction. His group may not have won X Factor but the 17-year-old could soon be living the lavish lifestyle of a Westlife member.
A tabloid dream given Niall's onstage reaction to One Direction making X Factor's top three was "let's get hammered".
So heaven knows how he's going to celebrate the No 1 records and sell-out tours anticipated for his group, dubbed "the new JLS".
Remember Louis Walsh has described One Direction as the "perfect boy band".
A controversial comment when you manage Westlife.
