That's the question on fans' lips after the Beeb in London revealed that the famous four - Shane, Mark, Nicky and Kian - are set to perform live on the seven hour telethon show on November 16.

The big-hearted boys have sung on Children In Need four times since 2001 - with all of their performances being staged in Belfast - to the delight of their Ulster fans.

Westlife's comeback single Home is destined to hit the UK top spot this weekend and the boys are set to play a string of shows at Belfast's Odyssey arena this February.

The BBC in Ormeau Avenue refused to reveal ANY details of acts set to appear - as part of their input to the network fundraiser.

However, Sunday Life knows that classical music crossover star, Alfie Boe - whose album, La Passione is predicted to be a major chart hit - WILL perform the song, Caruso, in the Beeb's Belfast studios.

Belfast is one of only four regional centres due to stage live music entertainment on the night.

Children In Need organisers in London confirmed that Westlife ARE due to appear on the night. So, they - along with ANY of the other music stars confirmed for the night - could be in Belfast to perform here.

Comeback queen, Kylie Minogue will be singing her new single, 2 Hearts. Also appearing will be guitar pop boyband, McFly; Eurythmics star, Annie Lennox; sassy girl group, Sugababes and Any Dream Will Do TV talent show winner, Lee Mead.

The Spice Girls will perform the official Children In Need fundraising song, Headlines (Friendship Never Ends) in a live link from LA.

While other entertainment on the night will include a specially written Doctor Who scene, starring David Tennant and former Time Lord, Peter Davison and a musical number from the cast of soap EastEnders.

The main Children In Need presenters in London will be Sir Terry Wogan and Fearne Cotton.

Local lass, Christine Bleakley - currently presenting The One Show - co-presented BBC NI's Children In Need 2006 programme. But the Beeb in Belfast would not yet confirm who will front the 2007 show.
