Former Westlife singer Brian McFadden alarmed fans as he shared a worrying video clip of himself with a swollen face. Brian, 42, told his Instagram followers that he'd suffered an allergic reaction to a bee sting.
Sitting back in bed with enlarged lips and puffy eyes he bravely poked fun of the situation by singing the LMFAO song Sexy And I Know It. And the Boyzlife star joked that he was 'owning' the look.
He wrote with the video: "Stung by a bee and got an allergic reaction!! Owning that look! Free Botox and fillers!!!!!" Brian, who is now in the duo Boyzlife along with Boyzone heartthrob Keith Duffy after shooting to fame in the boyband Westlife received a raft of comments from worried fans.
