Westlife praise "amazing" Swedish women

Westlife are looking forward to being surrounded by beautiful women during a planned tour of Sweden.

The band told Now Online that the Scandinavian country is full of stunning blondes.

Shane Filan said: "If you want to find some good-looking women there are handfuls of them on every street corner in Sweden!"

Nicky Byrne agreed: "Even the average-looking women are absolutely amazing."

Mark Feehily, meanwhile, had high praise for Scandinavian men, saying: "Of course Freddie Ljungberg is Swedish. His cheekbones are so sharp they could be used as a weapon! You can't take him on a plane."

Kian Egan has revealed that he prefers curvaceous women.
