Shane Filan moves back to Ireland after his bankruptcy – as he buys new home in Sligo

Homesick Shane Filan has bought a property for his family in Sligo again – after bankruptcy forced him out.

The former Westlife star has splashed out on a home in the scenic Rosses Point area of Sligo.

Sources told the Star that the 35-year-old and his wife Gillian have moved back home – and his kids are even going to school in the area.

An insider added: “Shane has moved back home with his family very recently and is very happy about it.

“They have all settled back in Sligo, which was always what Shane had preferred.

“He will obviously still travel to the UK when he needs to but his family base is now in Sligo.”

The Filans had moved to Surrey, just outside of London, in 2012 after he went bankrupt with debts of €23million after his property development plans collapsed.

Sold: Shane Filan had to clear debts

They had been living in a home in Sligo for which he was once offered €10million – but it was sold off by receivers for just €800,000.

Previously Shane admitted he hoped to get back to his native county, despite bad memories there.

He said: “All our family are still there, it’s home. Without a doubt we will move back there again.”
