Westlife star Shane Filan has claimed that the group's manager Louis Walsh fired them twice.
According to Contactmusic, the singer said: "He's fired us twice."
"He thought we were being arrogant little rock stars and said, 'Look I can't deal with you'."
"Two years later the same sort of thing happened again - he just got a vibe that we were a little bit too big for our boots."
"We were all genuinely devastated. I was crying."
