star Mark Feehily has sensationally announced: I want a gay wedding.
The
openly gay heart-throb vows he WILL wed long-time lover Kevin McDaid as soon as
the time is right.
Mark, 26, made the shocking announcement on a new
episode of Ryan Confidential, to be aired on Thursday.
For the first time
the boyband hunk admitted he will marry boyfriend of
two years Kevin, 22.
He said: "If, and when, I get to a certain point in
my relationship with my boyfriend Kevin, I certainly would want to get married
to him. Absolutely."

Just two months ago in a November interview he insisted he is NOT
getting married.
He said: "It has been in the Press that I am getting
married, which is just not true. And it will get to the stage where when it does
happen for real no-one will believe me.
"But believe me, when it happens
I will tell everyone and make a big deal out of it."
And last April -
just eight months ago - he claimed he had NO plans to marry. Insiders hinted he
was on the verge of slipping away to tie the knot with Kevin.

would view the whole thing. But to be honest, it's been amazing. We're just a
normal couple who enjoy spending time together. Because I'm on tour so much we
really have to make the most of our time off together."
The Westlife star
came out last year in a blaze of publicity.
But caring Mark said hiding
his true sexuality from his fans - for SIX YEARS - was more of a strain than
going public.
He said: "The really scary thing was trying to keep it all
a secret, that's what I found really tough. I was worried that something would
leak out before I had a chance to say it myself. I wasn't at all worried when it
came to the point that I actually announced I was gay, because that was nothing
compared to the pressure of keeping it all a secret. When it finally all came
out and hit the headlines it was a huge weight off my shoulders because I didn't
have to live a lie in that respect."
