Bryan on Molly

BRYAN McFADDEN has spoken for the first time of his joy - and tears - at becoming a father.
Moments after leaving hospital with fiancée Kerry Katona and new daughter Molly, he told me: "It's one of the greatest feelings I've ever had in my life."
The Westlife hunk revealed that he blubbed like a baby when Molly arrived last Friday night.
Bryan, 21, said: "I've always wanted to have children but didn't think I'd be a father so soon.
You only realise what it's all about when the baby finally arrives.
All I was worried about was that the baby would be healthy, whichever sex it would be.
Now I am just so proud that Molly is not only a healthy baby but also very, very beautiful.
I could not be happier. Myself and Kerry feel so lucky.
I broke down and cried when Molly finally arrived and I held her little body in my arms.
She has Kerry's blonde hair and she's already shown she has a great pair of lungs."
Bryan, who has been dating ex-Atomic Kitten singer Kerry, 20, since July last year, added: "I'm taking a few weeks off to help now. I don't want to do anything other than be around Kerry and Molly."
The baby was born after 18 hours' labour at Dublin's Mount Carmel Hospital. Bryan said: "Poor Kerry. Labour seemed to go on forever.
She was great but I was a bundle of nerves."
