Westlife will make their last TV appearance later this year, ITV has revealed.

The 'Flying Without Wings' boyband, who announced their plans to split last week, have signed up for a one-off special for ITV1.

Westlife: For The Last Time will see Nicky Byrne, Kian Egan, Mark Feehily and Shane Filan sing their greatest hits in front of a studio audience, as well as partake in behind-the-scenes interviews.

Commissioned by ITV's controller of entertainment John Kaye Cooper, the programme is likely to air on a Saturday or Sunday night after The X Factor, and could be shown after the final.

Since forming in 1998, the group have had 14 number one singles in the UK.
