Kian Egan from Westlife joins Jono & Ben for a hilarious chat

Westlife’s Kian Egan joins Jono & Ben ahead of the band’s big return to New Zealand and pulls off a surprise call for Megan that she’ll never forget.

We’re joined by Kian Egan from Westlife, calling in just after dinner and a couple of beers ahead of the band’s massive return to New Zealand. Kian chats about Westlife’s huge two‑year world tour, bringing their families on the road, and why New Zealand feels surprisingly like home. He reflects on the buzz of getting the band back together, parenting as a pop star, and hearing your own songs play while supermarket shopping with your kids.

Things take a legendary turn as he shares stories from performing for Barack Obama, Will Smith, the Pope, Queen Elizabeth, King Charles, and duetting with icons like Mariah Carey, Diana Ross, and Lionel Richie.

And with Westlife superfan Megan away, we couldn’t resist pulling off the ultimate surprise - getting Kian to give her a call. What follows is pure shock and excitement as she realises who’s on the other end, making for a seriously unforgettable moment.
