Feehily Has Faced Death Threats

WESTLIFE star MARK FEEHILY has allegedly received a string of “death threats” since he went public with his sexuality - insisting he has been bombarded with “abuse for being gay”.

The Irish singer stunned fans in 2005 when he opened up about his homosexuality, having kept his secret since he shot to fame with the band.

Feehily is glad he told the truth about his private life, but admits he has been targeted by homophobes since he ‘came out’.

He tells Britain’s Daily Star Sunday newspaper, “I’m the one who always gets the death threats and hate mail. It’s generally abuse for being gay from a few psychos.”
