WESTWING LIFE!

 
BARACK OBAMA takes a break from the White House's West Wing - to meet WESTLIFE.

The US president chatted with the chart stars about his Irish heritage as he prepared to receive his Nobel Peace Prize in Norway.

And Mr Obama, 48 - whose great-great grandad Falmouth Keaney emigrated from Ireland to America in 1850 - invited the lads to meet up for a Guinness.

Band member NICKY BYRNE, 31, told The Sun newspaper: "It was amazing. He was very personable. As soon as we mentioned we were from Ireland he spoke of his Irish roots and said we should go for a Guinness."

Bandmate SHANE FILAN, 30, added: "He seemed really cool. Next time we're in Washington we're going to hook up with him."

The pair performed with fellow members KIAN EGAN and MARK FEEHILY at a peace concert in Oslo to mark Mr Obama's honour.
