Brace yourselves, Boyzone reunite

Boyzone will reunite for one night only in aid of the BBC Children In Need appeal. Ronan Keating, Stephen Gately, Shane Lynch, Mikey Graham and Keith Duffy will all take part in the charity reunion. I think the plan is that they'll keep on singing until everyone in the country has donated five pounds each. It's a clever move - I'll be on the phone as soon as they take to the stage, and I'm notoriously stingy. It's very good of the Boyzone boys to reunite to benefit Children In Need, though some gossipers say the reunion is also aiming to benefit the mortgages of those Boyzoners who have not enjoyed solo success - as a reunion tour may follow the TV appearance.
