Westlife star Nicky Byrne has said he would love a career like Ryan Seacret's once he has completed his final duties with Westlife.
The boyband star's comments came after a successful hosting stint on BBC Radio 2.
Speaking to Digital Spy about what's next for him, he said: "I think TV and radio is something I really enjoy, and I've been dipping my toes into both over the years.
"I presented on BBC Radio 2 last week, which really gave me a buzz. It would be great to have a role like Ryan Seacrest. It's great to be able to have those discussions now without feeling guilty."
He also revealed that the band expected to be dropped in the aftermath of Brian McFadden's departure in 2004.
"We took four or five months off after our album Allow Us To Be Frank," he said. "It was a bad time in the band - Brian had left, we came out with a rat-pack album, the tour didn't do great and we had one album left on our contract.
"I actually went and did an acting course in New York to prepare me for what might happen next. We came back and recorded what we all thought might be our last hurrah - songs like 'You Raise Me Up' - and it ended up being huge, so we stuck with it a while longer. It's a miracle and a blessing that we lasted 14 years."
The band's 'Greatest Hits' charted at No. 4 at the weekend.
