Singer Kian Egan is proud to be known as a member of Westlife and he always wants to be remembered for his work with the band.

The 33-year-old and his bandmates went their separate ways after splitting in 2012 and Egan went on to win “I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!” last year, but he will always be proud to be associated with the group, reports contactmusic.com.

He said: ”I was always the blonde guy from Westlife. Across the board it was, ‘The two blonde guys, which one was Kian?’ There was that kind of comparison and it was ‘There’s the blonde guy from Westlife’, ‘There’s your man from Westlife,’ and now I suppose that’s changed definitely.

”People are saying, ‘There’s Kian,’ or, ‘There’s your man Kian Egan,’ or, ‘There’s your man Kian from Westlife.’ I never want to lose my Westlife title, that’s who I am, that’s where I’ve come from,” he added.
