ILS signal lost during final..

Flying an ILS approach. On localizer and glide slope. Visual with runway.
ILS signal is lost for some reason.
You can just advice ATC and tell him requesting a visual from there, is this right?
Recently a friend of mine told me his captain performed a go around because of this, so I was just wondering if that was fully necessary?
Ofcourse I'm not questioning his course of action, it just got me thinking..

Also on that note. A visual approach requiring 5 KM VIS and 1500 ceiling.
You need this before starting a visual approach.
What if visibility was 4000 meters and you lost the ILS signal BUT are visual with runway. I assume it is legal to request a visual in this case is it not?

Bare with me please guys. May be stupid questions to lots of you.

Thanks
