Westlife's Shane surprises number one fan

Westlife heart throb Shane Filan ran a Valentine's Day errand to deliver a special bouquet to a lucky uptown girl from Calcot.

And 28-year-old Paula Godfrey, of Flodden Drive, could hardly believe her eyes when Shane marched into her office with an armful of roses on Friday afternoon.

Paula, an administrator at Crown Interiors in Woodley, owes her VIP visit to husband Russell, 27, who text messaged radio station 210FM to say why his wife deserved to meet the star.

He said: "I only found out I'd won the day before. I told Paula and she couldn't stop screaming."

Russell's winning text message declared: "I love my wife more than anything, but she loves Westlife more than anything."

Starstruck Paula said: "I couldn't believe it. It's the first time I've met Shane. He's definitely my favourite member of the band.

"I've been a fan for about three years and am going to my second concert in June.

"I've never won anything before in my life. I didn't know what to expect.

" I mean, what do you expect when Shane from Westlife comes into your office?"

And the Irish songster - dressed in a brown leather jacket and woolly hat - also had a treat for some of his young fans who gathered outside the Headley Road company, because he happily posed for pictures and signed autographs
