~ Quotes ~

"I used to have a toy cat called Kitty. It wasn't a pink cat but it wasn't a black cat either if you know what i mean. It was something a girl would definitely have had. I'd hide him under the bed when my friends came round."

"I was caught speeding past a hospital doing 47 mph in a 30mph zone. There were four of us in the car and it was just after I passed my test. We were on our way to the Irish trials for rugby and we were late so on the bigger roads I was probably going a lot faster. Luckily the cop loved rugby so he let me off although he wasn't too happy with my dodgy number plate."

"My perfect day off would be home in Sligo, somewhere peaceful where I'd be able to chill out, then go up to the land and see the horses!!"

"Ronan's a lovely guy, but don't disturb him when he's tired - you wouldn't like him when he's angry!"

"I always cry when I leave my mum, because I hate seeing her face when I go. I know she's going to start crying -- I can see the tears building up, it's like she's holding a river in her eyes. We're really close."

"I love doing shoots - you get to wear loads of different clothes, and if it's fast-paced, then they're good fun."

"My first school was Scoil Fatima in Sligo. On my first day, i bawled my eyes out when my mum left me - it was a horrible day and i'll never forget it as long as i live ! then i went to secondary school where the teachers and the headmaster, who was a priest, helped me to where i am today."

"During a game of football against a local team in Hong Kong I missed the ball and kicked the floor hard, which really hurt my foot. The next day I was limping badly and all of the guys started calling me Sheena because they said I was acting like a big girl!"

"When I was in the band I.O.U I bleached my hair blonde. It was a disaster -it looked like a bad version of Kian's!"

~ Fact File ~

Shane suffers from a knee injury he got 3 years ago from falling off a horse.

Shane's parents gave him a horse for his 21st birthday, Shane called it Carlton Clover.

It was Shane's mum Mae who originally got in touch with Louis Walsh to try and persuade him to get involved with Westlife!

Shane wasn't too much trouble at school and he always talked his way out of everything. He had a charm with the teachers and admits that his school days were the best days of his life!

His scariest moment was when he was younger and he was kicked in the head by a horse. He said it wasn't too bad cos it was a small pony and didn't get him right. But it happened really quickly and Shane didn't know where he was cos he was so dazed afterwards.

He loves singing in the shower.

The best place Shane says he's ever been to is Sydney, Australia.

Shane is godfather to his nephew Killian.

He says his hands are his fave part of his body.

If Shane wasn't in Westlife, he would be studying accountancy.

His fave Westlife song is Fool Again.

He belives in aliens.

He bought a Jeep for his 21st birthday!
