MARK FEEHILY: "I SPENT A LOT OF MY TEENAGE YEARS AND EARLY 20S IN A VERY DARK PLACE."
THE SUN, where the boyband gays traditionally reveal their sexual orientation, is looking back at the career of WESTLIFe and starts of with Mark Feehily.
Mark came out publicly in THE SUN back in 2005.
Mark, now settled with long-term boyfriend Kevin McDaid, says: "It wasn't hiding a secret from the guys or the public. I didn't have any love life or relationship or sex life at all.
"That's why things went so dark for me. It was like a ticking time bomb but now I am so happy."
Bandmate and friend Nicky says he is relieved his pal can finally relax, and that he wasn't surprised to hear he was gay.
"We are at the best of parties with the best-looking women," says Nicky, 31.
"Obviously if you have a girlfriend it's a different scenario but if you looked at Mark, and he didn't have a girlfriend, we kept wondering why he wasn't chatting up the girls. I always knew with Mark. He had what people say is a swagger but it was a gay swagger, that thing going on.
"But you never say anything because it's no one's business.
"I remember the day he told Shane and me. We were all jumping around, hugging and everything. At last he felt comfortable in himself.
"I remember ringing round when the story came out. I rang one of my mates to tell him Mark was gay and he said, 'Make sure you tell him we are all behind him'. Then he panicked and said, 'No, no. Don't say it like that'. "
More than four years after going public over his sexuality, Mark says he is happier and stronger than ever.
