Nicky’s Fury At Bertie Jibe
Star's anger when quizzed over dig-out
Nicky fumes over 'dig-out' Bertie'
WESTLIFE star Nicky Byrne blew his top after being asked about father-in-law Bertie Ahern's tribunal affairs, during the Meteor Awards.
He lost his cool after he was asked by a reporter if he would 'give Bertie a dig-out'. The question - a reference to the Taoiseah receiving money from friends for his financial troubles during his marriage split during the 1990's - angered Nicky who was at the bash with wife Georgina.
"Of course I would give me father-in-law a dig-out, wouldn't you give your father-in-law a dig-out? What kind of question is that?!" fumed the Dubliner.
Nicky, 29, demanded to know where the reporter who asked the question was from.
When he was told, the singer replied sarcastically, "Yeah well, that’s good for you".
Presenter Nikky Hayes from 2FM quickly moved to another question before the band finished the press conference and left quickly.
The source added: "Westlife has nothing to do with the Taoiseach's private affairs and Nicky was raging to be asked about it."
"The band had just won Best Irish Pop Act and they were delighted about it and wanted to talk about that and their plans."
"But this really put a damper on it things, especially for Nicky. The other lads were also raging about it."
"Nicky and the Taoiseach have a really good father-in-law relationship & son-in-law relationship and they get on really, really well."
"The Taoiseach has been very supportive of Westlife over the years and vice versa. But first and foremost he is Nicky's father-in-law and grandfather of Nicky and Georgina's twin boys, Rocco and Jay."
A SENIOR member of the PDs broke ranks yesterday and attacked Bertie Ahern. Former Junior Minister, Tim O'Malley said he was 'not happy' with what he was hearing from the Mahon Tribunal.
