Worried Kian & Jodi In Hospital Dash After Father Falls Ill

Westlife star Kian Egan (28) has made a mercy dash to be at his father Kevin’s bedside after he was admitted to a Dublin hospital.

The worried singer sparked speculation that all was not well after he was seen this week visiting someone in Beaumont Hospital with his fiancee Jodi Albert (25), the Diary can reveal.

Although details about the nature of his father’s illness are still vague, the young star is clearly concerned for his dad’s condition as he has cancelled most work commitments for the rest of the week.

Mr Egan senior was rushed to the Dublin hospital from his home in Sligo on Monday evening and has remained there having a series of tests carried out in one of the specialist wings of Beaumont.

The blonde singer was spotted relaxing in the VIP area at the Electric Picnic last weekend before rushing back up to Dublin at the start of the week.

It was initially thought this was to oversee the next round of auditions for the Irish girlband he’s setting up with Louis Walsh, but it has now emerged that visiting his father was his main priority.

“All I know is his dad was brought in for tests on Monday evening and Kian happened to be in Dublin at the same time,” said his spokesperson.

“I just got a text saying that he was going to be out of circulation because his dad was in hospital. He said nothing more about the nature of the illness.”

Hailing from a large family with three brothers and three sisters, Kian has always stayed close to his parents Kevin and Patricia, even preferring to stay living in Sligo rather than moving down to Dublin.

Meanwhile, it’s full steam ahead for his €1m nuptial celebrations to Jodi after the pair found the perfect location for the dream wedding after weeks of looking for the ideal place to swap vows.

“I can’t wait to be Jodi’s husband, for her to be my wife and to have children and an amazing family life together,” said Kian. “Jodi is incredible, there will never be anyone else.”

Although the couple are naturally keeping the wedding venue under wraps, Jodi had said they want the occasion to be completely unique.

“The wedding reflects exactly who me and Kian are as a couple. It’s our vibe. It’s brilliant and I can’t wait for it. It’s come around so fast,” she said.
