19 signs you were a teenage Westlife obsessive

Were you a Shane gal or a Nicky gal?

SPIT ON US Westlife. The Irish boyband touched the lives of millions of tweens worldwide with their dulcet tones, leather jackets and floppy hair.

But were you a SUPER FAN? Or, still.

1. You’ve loved them from the moment you first saw that over-gelled hair

2… and quickly vowed to marry a man with a blonde step or frosted tips
