It was easy to understand why Irish star Brian McFadden was smiling as he enjoyed some quality time with his three favourite girls this week. The former Westlife singer was photographed with his partner Delta Goodrem and his two daughters, Molly and Lilly Sue, as he paid a visit to a children's hospital in his hometown of Dublin.
The statuesque performer and his Aussie love went along to open a new intensive care unit at the facility. And the outing proved to be just what the doctor ordered, as the girls enjoyed a bit of festive fun by giving a model Santa Claus the once over with a stethoscope.
Ireland is currently enjoying unusually bright weather for this time of year, but the family can look forward to experiencing even warmer climes in the not-too-distant future. Five-year-old Molly and three-year-old Lilly Sue will no doubt get the chance to visit Australia sometime soon, as their famous dad is planning to take up residence there in the New Year.
Brian and Delta, who currently spend most of their time in New York, have decided to up sticks and head for Sydney. And the celebrity couple is set to sing up a storm in the Aussie city's Myer Music Bowl when they perform a seasonal duet at the Carols By Candelight concert on Christmas Eve.
