Westlife Shock Post Office® Customers with Surprise Appearance

Irish heartthrobs Westlife made a shock surprise visit to the Trafalgar Square Post Office® today to talk to customers about the new broadband service.

Stars (L – R) Mark Feehily, Nicky Byrne, Shane Filan and Kian Egan, pictured here with Post Office® Counter Assistant Daksha Gorsia, surprised onlookers who were there to post their letters and pick up their pensions. In the shock visit, the boys appeared behind the counter and talked to customers about the brand new broadband service, now available at over 14,000 UK Post Office® branches and at www.postoffice.co.uk.

Customer Tori Stokes, 28, of Fulham, said: “I couldn’t believe it – I just popped in to post a package and next thing I knew Westlife were behind the counter. They were much smaller than I imagined they’d be, but just as gorgeous!”

Today is also the day the boys’ new single ‘Home’ is released, which is hotly tipped for the number spot this weekend.

The band said: "Broadband is great - it means our fans can download our music in an instant and keep up to date with our latest news through our website. It also means that when we are away on tour, our friends and family can keep in touch. The new Post Office® Broadband service means even more of our fans can reach us, at the click of a mouse."

Westlife star in the Post Office’s® new high-profile TV advertising campaign alongside other familiar household names such as Joan Collins, Wendy Richard and Bill Oddie.
