Nicky Byrne: I want musical role

Nicky Byrne fancies a role in Grease the musical

Nicky Byrne has confessed he'd love to get into acting, and is eyeing a role in the West End.

The Westlife star and Strictly Come Dancing contestant revealed he has even considered a career in Hollywood.

Nicky said: "Acting is definitely something I'd consider. I did an acting course in New York about five years ago and I made a decision that one day I'd go to the States and try to get an agent. But times change. Now I'm married, with twin boys..."

But he added he's be interested in starring in a musical.

"Probably something like Grease, that'd be pretty cool. The songs and characters are so well known."

Westlife have decided to call it a day after 14 years, but Nicky insists he, Shane Filan, Mark Feehily and Kian Egan will always be friends.

He said: "There are many reasons [why we split], but 14 years is a long, long time. You've got to remember that we started when we were kids, did everything we were told, and then what happens when you grow up is you develop your own opinions, and that changes things.

"I share a serious bond with the lads, and we'll never lose that bond. I like to think we'll be able to keep in touch and pick up the phone at any point."
