POP star Brian McFadden brought some pre-Christmas cheer to sick youngsters yesterday.
The Irish singer, who sold millions of albums as part of boy band Westlife, visited the children's ward at Newcastle General Hospital.
Mr McFadden, who recently split with wife Kerry, topped the charts in September with his debut single, Real To Me and has just released its follow-up, Irish Son.
