Nicky Swinging in Dublin...
It's great to see popstars like Ronan Keating and Brian McFadden always on the go supporting charitable causes but there's another Irish chart-topper who gives much of his time to charity, Westlife's Nicky Byrne...
If you were to ask anyone in media who is the most down-to-earth person in Irish showbusiness, most would reply straight away with the name Nicky Byrne.
ShowBiz Ireland has had many dealing's with the Westlife heartthrob since our beginnings 5 years ago and amazingly the Dubliner seems unaffected by years of celebrity status - in fact he seems more humble these days!
We caught up with Nicky last week as he stepped out to take part in the Nivea For Men Ronnie Whelan Golf Classic which raises money for charities such as the Marie Keating Foundation...
And not one to be outdone by his former bandmate Brian McFadden's Hummer, Nicky pulled-up to the event in a blacked-out Cadillac Escalade in true Pimp style...
Also at the event were a number of former football greats such as Niall Quinn, Steve Staunton and Alan Hansen aswell as some familiar Irish faces such as Simon Casey and Brian Ormond.
Hurling legend DJ Carey was also at the event with his partner Sarah Newman, some days later it was reported that he was rushed to hospital with health problems - apparently he is back on the mend this week...
