Feehily: 'Kian almost bit my ear off'

Mark Feehily has revealed that Kian Egan can be violent when drunk.

The Westlife singer, who is in the Irish boyband with Egan, Shane Filan and Nicky Byrne, said that Egan once bit his ear.

Feehily told Jonathan Ross on his chatshow: "[Kian] bites everybody - he bit my ear and nearly took the lobe off."

Talking about when bandmate Brian McFadden left the group in 2004, Feehily said: "When Brian left, we... thought we'd slowly fall apart."

Byrne added: "Managing to survive brought us closer together."
