WESTLIFE'S Nicky Byrne has swapped nightclubs for night feeds - and admitted he couldn't be happier.

The 28-year-old singer, who described the birth of s identical twins Rocco and Jay as a "magical experience", is relishing s new role as a father.

s wife Georgina went into premature labour and the boys were born by Caesarean section on April 20.

Nicky said: "The birth of the babies has been the most magical experience of our lives.

"They're wonderful, the icing on the cake and I can't believe they're all mine and Georgina's.

"I just cannot put it into words how much I love them and tell you what it feels like being a daddy."

But the singer admitted things were difficult when the newborn twins had to be kept in intensive care for several weeks.

The couple, who have been together since the age of 16, took it in turns to keep a vigil by their cots.

The beaming dad said: "We thought we'd never get them home to welcome them into their new environment, to love them, cuddle them and do everything for them.

"The hospital staff were magnificent but it was so difficult for us to watch them in ICU, and although they were perfectly healthy, just born a bit early, we knew that we had to keep an eye on them.

"Georgina and I were there with them every single day and night to feed them and play with them and, of course, we kept telling them we loved them and wanted to bring them home.

"The day finally came when Jay was allowed home but they had to keep Rocco, our little fighter, in for another week."

Nicky may be a superstar dad, adored by millions of fans but this does not stop m getting s hands dirty.

The star told Maternity and Infant magazine he changes s fair share of nappies to ensure he splits the workload with Georgina.

He said: "The nurses taught us on a daily basis how to handle them, e them, change their nappies and feed them.

"But when we got them home it was another thing entirely.

"We are a dab hand at it now and we love every minute of it."
