Stephen and Keith newsFORMER Boyzone star Steven Gately arrived in Manchester to join one-time crooning companion Keith Duffy and the Coronation Street cast for a boisterous Christmas party. While Duffy - who has been taking a break from filming the soap this week - flew in from Dublin for the festivities, Gately made the trek over from Liverpool, where he is currently starring in Joseph and His Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat. The pair joined dozens of Street stars, including Suranne Jones, Sally Lindsay, Chris Bisson and Eileen Derbyshire, for merriment at basement venue The Late Room before heading off to karaoke at the Press Club. Fellow drinkers in the Queen Street venue were even treated to the vision of Corrie glamour-pusses Georgia Taylor and Samia Ghadie belting out their own sexy version of the Holly Valance hit Kiss Kiss, to uproarious applause. But the youngsters were upstaged by comic Paul O'Grady, aka Lily Savage, with These Boots Are Made For Walking.

Going on the advise of publishing svengali Mike Hogan Keith put his first big payout from Boyzone into property in the Dun Laoghaire area of Dublin. Apparently he bought an apartment for £68,000, it is now worth a walloping 444,000 euros! Well done Keitho... |
