Thanks to the hundreds of you who put questions to the lads in our exclusive webchat with Westlife - you've kept them in stitches all afternoon!

They've obviously not been able to answer every one - but we've got some great answers... and they've finally come clean about whether they are REALLY breaking up!

Click the Continue link below to find out whether you're question tickled their pickle - and discover the weirdest gift they've ever been sent... and who makes them go weak at the knees.

Our huge thanks go to Kian, Mark Nicky and Shane for being so generous with their time on a rare day off - and best of luck with the new album Back Home - OUT TOMORROW!

And...If ye could spend a day with a fan,What would ye do???
Thank you Westlife I love you all sooo much!!xx

Annie: Hi

Mark: Medium sized.

Laura: Have you done your xmas shopping yet? what is niocle , rocco and jay getting from santa this year?
Nicky: I haven't done any shopping yet - there’s plenty of time still isn’t there?!

Laura: hey guys
What has been your best tour and why?
I hear you were thinking of doing a duet album in the future, are you still going to do this and if so who would you love to duet with?
see you soon love ya xxx
Kian: Face to Face was the best, the one I'm most proud of.

vicki Finan: Hiya Guys, hope you all good. My questions is:
Do you ever get star struck when you meet other famous people?
See you all in manchester 2008!!
vicki x
Shane: When we worked with Mariah Carey we were nervous about singing with such a big star but in the end she was so down to earth and great fun.

nerys: hi
what the most funny thing that as happened when your on tour
thank you
love to you all
Nicky: Funny things happen all the time!

Michelle Lloyd: Hey guys! Can I just firstly take this opportunity to congratulate you on the new album, from what I've heard it's great. I've followed you from the start as a young girl, I'm now 22 at uni in Manchester and still a big fan and proud to be. Where as my friends have Stone Roses posters on their walls, I have a Westlife one hehe! As stupid as it sounds it feels like I've grown up with Westlife, always sticking your cd on when I need cheering up. My mum's a big fan too and it's great that I can go along to your tours with her and have a great time, so thanks guys! Anyway enough of that now!
My question is : How have you all managed to stay so grounded despite your amazing success? You're all so down to earth and 'normal', it must annoy you when you see people who haven't had anywhere near the same success as you acting up.
Best of luck with the album and look forward to seeing you on tour next year!
Hope you have a great christmas too, especially Nicky, Georgina, Jay and Rocco - you deserve it.
Lots of Love
Michelle xXx
All: We’re lucky to have a really strong network of family and friends behind us - this stops us getting too big for our boots!

rachel: hey guys i cant wait to get my hands on the next album to add to my collection!!!! i really hope you aint splitting up. my question is what are you gonna be doing to mark 10 years of westlife? i hope its something BIG!!!!!
