Three heartthrobs from 90s boyband Boyzone paid a surprise visit to Whiston Hospital.

Ronan Keating, Keith Duffy and Shane Lynch popped in to the children's unit to cheer up a few of the young patients and their families and even spent time on the G5 adult ward.

The Irish chart toppers were greeted with a warm welcome from patients, relatives and staff at the hospital, and spent time chatting with patients, signing autographs and having their photos taken.

The Boyzone visit brightened up the day for patients - reportedly bringing beaming smiles, laughter and even tears of joy.

Gill Core, director of nursing, said: "The looks on the patients' faces as the boys walked through the door was priceless. Everyone was delighted and said how great it was that they took the time to visit the hospital and meet all the patients and staff.

"We are extremely grateful to them and want to thank them for sparing the time to visit."
