Keith Duffy and Brian McFadden are currently in talks to host their own UK chat show.
The dynamic duo have been impressing fans in the UK and Ireland with their Boyzlife tour over the past few months, and it appears that tv bosses think the wit and charm they’ve displayed on stage will translate well onto tv screens and they’re now being approached for their own show.
“It’s unbelievable the different ideas that are being presented to us at the moment.” Keith told the Evening Herald. “We get on very well. We’re like the bold Ant and Dec, that’s what we have been called, the post-watershed Ant and Dec. There’s huge interest in the UK at the moment for us to put together our own TV show,”
“We will perform with the guests clips and videos we shoot during the week. When the two of us are together we’re quite funny and TV and radio have noticed it so there’s producers talking to our management trying to get our own show,”
However, Keith admits that if the show was to go ahead there’s no way he’d move to England, as his family are based in Ireland.
“I would never move over there. The family are based in Ireland so I’ll always commute. I commuted for Coronation Street to Manchester every week and it would never be as difficult as that because Corrie shoots 6 days a week, up to 14 hours a day,” he said.
“There were weeks where it felt like I’d only get home for 10 minutes. The commute is a lot easier (now). I’m getting a lot more balance and I get a lot more time with the family.”
We hope this goes ahead, we think Keith and Brian would make for very entertaining viewing!
