TAOISEACH Bertie Ahern has confessed he secretly sneaks off and listens to Westlife to escape the pressures of politics.
After a hard day at the Dail Bertie goes to his Drumcondra home and turns up the boyband's new album.
The 57-year-old closet pop fan admitted: "I love the new Westlife release and one of my favourite ways of unwinding is to listen to it at home.
"It's very relaxing just to have it playing at the house after a long day.
I think it's their best album yet.
"The lads have done so well to have lasted 10 years in the business and they deserve respect."
Bertie should have no problem scoring tickets for the band's huge Ireland and UK tour next year - his son-in-law is singer Nicky Byrne.
He was speaking at the Children At Risk In Ireland ball in Dublin's Shelbourne Hotel which raised more than EUR100,000 for the charity.
The event was hosted by his estranged wife Miriam who was there with boyfriend Terry McCoy.
The Taoiseach's daughters Cecilia and Georgina also joined in the fun.
Bertie added: "Miriam has been associated with Cari for years and worked really hard...it raises an awful lot of important money.
"They run a lunch during the summer without which the charity wouldn't function as well.
"So it is a great night. I'm delighted to support it."
Boyzone's Ronan Keating and his wife Yvonne, TV3's Alan Hughes and footballer Keith O'Neill were also there.
