The X Factor judge went on to say that the final decision, on if McFadden were to be readmitted to the band’s line-up, would be up to Shane Filan, Markus Feehily, Kian Egan and Nicky Byrne.

“As their manager it will be up to the four boys. No, I couldn’t make that decision. That’s their decision.”

Brian famously left the band in 2004.

Westlife reformed last year after a seven year hiatus and launched a massively successful tour across Europe, while also returning to number one in the charts.
