Kellie Harrington's wife misses romantic opportunity at Westlife concert but Ryan Tubridy makes promise

Kellie Harrington has revealed her wife missed a romantic opportunity as they attended a Westlife concert during the week.

The Olympic gold medallist and partner Mandy Loughlin took in the gig at the 3Arena in Dublin and even got to meet the band backstage afterwards.

Kellie, who joined Ryan Tubridy on his RTE Radio 1 show from Dublin Airport on Friday, told how she was going to sing Mandy to her other half for the first time ever, but Mandy herself missed the entire song after going to the toilet.

On the concert as a whole, Kellie said Westlife were "absolutely amazing".

She added: "It was a great way to lead us into the Christmas. All their songs were great."

When Tubridy brought up the song Mandy, Kellie laughed as she explained: "Oh no about that. My wife's name is Mandy and we're together 13 odd years now. We got married this year but in all these 13 years she's always been saying 'you need to sing Mandy to me, you need to sing Mandy to me' and I was like 'oh my God I'm never going to sing it'.

"So we were at Westlife and she was all excited. She was like 'Mandy's going to be sang and I'm going to be here...'

"So of course the one time in the whole show she got up to go to the toilet and missed the whole song. I spent the whole song looking at where she was going to walk back from the toilet and then she just walked back when it was over. She was smiling, but she was really annoyed. I was like 'told you you should have held it, just cross your legs, you would have been brand new and you didn't'. She missed her opportunity."

But Tubridy promised that the next time Westlife are on the Late Late Show, he'll get Mandy in the audience, to which Kellie hilariously replied: "Sure we might get you to do it Ryan."

And the host didn't exactly rule it out, saying: "You know stranger things have happened. I'm turning a big age next year so I'm going to do stuff I've never done before like sing with a band some night."
