Is Westlife star Kian Egan losing his golden locks?

He shot to fame as a fresh-faced heartthrob, but it appears age is now catching up on Westlife's Kian Egan.

The 27-year-old singer showed clear signs of male-pattern baldness as he emerged from London's Dorchester Hotel yesterday.

But he's not the only member to lose his grip on his boy band appearance - Mark Feehily, 27, showed hints of a growing paunch after attending the South Bank Show Awards that same day.

Still, the group appear to be happily embracing a more settled, comfortable life.

Kian proposed to his Hollyoaks star girlfriend Jodi Albert earlier this month after more than four years together.

No date has been set but the wedding is planned for 2009.

He said at the time: "I'm over the moon that Jodi said yes and I look forward to spending the rest of my life with her."

He follows the footsteps of bandmates Shane Filan and Nicky Byrne, both 28, who married their long-term girlfriends in 2003. Mark is in a relationship with partner Kevin McDaid.

Last year, Nicky became a father to twin boys, Rocco and Jay.
