+++ Kian and Jodi buy pounds 1.4m love nest in celebrity hideout +++
KIAN Egan is setting up home with lover Jodi Albert.
The Westlife star - at No1 in the charts with You Raise Me Up - has told how he and former Hollyoaks beauty Jodi are moving in to a pounds 1.4million pad together in south west London.
And he revealed the pair have been busy plotting the redecoration of the home in the exclusive Chelsea Village - next door to billionaire owner Roman Abramovich.
Kian - whose band will follow up their No1 single by taking the No1 spot in the album charts from Robbie Williams tonight with new CD Face To Face - was on a promotional trip in Europe last week. And on his return on Thursday, he headed straight to the interior design stores.
He revealed: "We haven't moved into it yet officially but me and Jodi will be living there together.
"I've just got back from Germany and have been doing bits and pieces of shopping. I've been finding paint for the walls for the new apartment.
"We're just getting into it now - doing all the painting and putting in the floors.
"It's exciting for the two of us to being move into an apartment together, starting it from scratch and doing it up together.
"We're not engaged yet. We will do but a few years down the line.
"We've still got an awful lot of things on our mind. It's still very early for us."
Kian is also thrilled at the band's renewed success - which has come after many in the music biz wrote them off. We never felt like we went away but our presence wasn't as big this time round.
"But it does feel like we've come back in a big way.
"Our schedule has never been more busy.
"People are accepting the fact we're not actually going anywhere."
Bosses, including Simon Cowell at record company Sony BMG, are now planning a huge Westlife Christmas party to celebrate the band's return to the top of the pops.
Kian confessed: "There's talk of a big Westlife Christmas party now which should be great."
