An hour later as she was sleeping in the buff, their assistants barged in.

Sarah told The Sun on Sunday: “On my wedding day I felt like a zombie as I’d hardly slept. It ruined what was meant to be the most perfect day of my life.”

Keith and Shane — whose hits include No Matter What and Love Me For A Reason — said they’d been given the wrong room key.

Sarah, an accountant in Newport, South Wales, splashed out £17,000 for her dream wedding to Stephen Huckerby, 42, at the city’s five-star Celtic Manor Resort.

The hotel was hosting a gala golfing dinner for celebs at the same time.

Sarah said she heard men “who sounded drunk” wandering around her suite at midnight.

She revealed: “I told them they needed to leave, before realising it was Shane and Keith from Boyzone.

“They said they were looking for the minibar.” At 1.30am their assistants burst in.

A Boyzone spokeswoman denied they were drunk and said: “The Boyz were given keys to the room and had been told it was theirs. Once the hotel’s mistake was realised they left.”

The hotel has apologised for its error and offered Sarah £1,700 compensation.
