Westlife’s Mark Feehily feels ‘lost’ following split

We were shocked when Westlife’s Mark Feehily announced during the festive period that himself and Kevin McDaid had ended their relationship.

Revealing the news on Twitter, he said, “Sadly,Kevin & I are no longer together.We've had an amazin 7yrs &are both so thankful for the love&support u have shown us from the start we won't be answering any questions about this as its a very private matter.Thanks in advance for understanding that.Lots of love,Mx”

A friend of the singer has revealed to The Mirror, “Mark really misses Kevin in his life. He's finding it really hard. He is still incredibly upset and raw about the split. He wants time to get over his split and doesn't want any other guys on the scene.

“He's trying to keep his chin up but he has good days and bad days. He's not at all over Kevin yet. Mark's family have been rallying around and he has some great friends too. But he's also spending a lot of time on his own just trying to come to terms with it all. He's very emotional.

"Kevin and Mark still text the odd time to keep in touch. There is no feud or bad feeling between them. But obviously they are both trying to start over again and adjust to life on their own. Mark just isn't ready to speak about it publicly yet. He's too upset about the whole thing but in time he'll talk."

The friend also quoted Mark as saying, "I couldn't even stand the thought of being with anyone else. There's no chance. I'm totally lost without Kevin."
