		C H U B B Y . . . . It is with a heavy heart, a lump in my throat, (and a bulge in my trousers), that I report the sad news this week that old 'tubby Jenkins' Brian 'Big Mac' Mcfadden collapsed last Monday whilst on tour in the U.S with Westlife. Apparently, the constant stress of miming and dancing like 'an elephant with an orthapedic shoe' had finally taken it's toll. Brian was last seen tucking into his fifth bucket of 'pigs trotters and chips' when he keeled over whilst reaching for a pickled onion. Brian was last night resting at home in Dublin where his mother is said to be 'relaxing in a dark room' Brian had, until yesterday, been relaxing in a plush hotel room in Beverly hills but doctors thought Brian would be better off at home after they noticed he had started tucking into the hotel furniture. Brian was half way through his third leather sofa, when he was strapped down and air ambulanced home. BEN.
