Brian McFadden must give up fags before marrying Delta Goodrem

Fiancée's dad doesn't want this daughter getting spliced to a smoker

Delta Goodrem's father wants fiancé Brian McFadden to quite smoking before he walks his daughter down the aisle.

When Brian, 27, asked Delta's pop Denis for her hand in marriage, he said okay - but on his terms.

'He gave me the "dad speech" and said I could wed Delta but there was a condition - "You can't marry her unless you stop smoking",' Brian tells Hello!

'I said I would but not for a while. I'll have to push back the wedding until I do it!'

Brian and Delta, 23, don't intend to become man and wife until next year so he has plenty of time to quit the habit.

'We want to have space and time to enjoy it,' says the former Westlife star. 'So it will be 2009, due to our massive workload.'
