Westlife unimpressed by JLS condoms

Westlife have blasted JLS for releasing their own condom range.

The Irish group have ridiculed the 'Beat Again' hitmakers Just Love Safe contraceptives, accusing them of going too far with their merchandising.

Mark Feehily exclusively told BANG Showbiz: "It does make you think what the f**k are they doing? Seriously, used condoms is a lovely thing to think about when you think of JLS.

"So will girls be going to their boyfriends, 'Sorry tonight babe do you mind using the one with Aston's face on it?' "

Shane Filan added: "They obviously got paid loads of money to do it and just went, 'OK.' "

While the 'What About Now' singers - who have their own perfume range - admit they have cashed in on their fame at times, they always took a slightly different approach.

Nicky Byrne said: "We had chocolate bars back in our day."

However, Westlife - which also includes fourth member Kian Egan - did admit they have been approached about their own brand of condoms and joked they are planning a tie-in with their new single, the aptly named 'Safe'.

Shane said: "People have actually recommended that we release our own brand of condoms. We could call them 'Safe' after our new single."

Mark claims the band might even go one step further, saying "We might release our own contraceptive pill!"

Westlife will release their new single 'Safe' on November 8.
