Ronan Keating bid farewell to radio this week after seven years on air.

The former Boyzone singer had been helming the Magic Breakfast show in the UK for almost a decade with his co-host Harriet Scott.

It was definitely an emotional goodbye.

He was sent several goodbye messages from his pals including The Script’s Danny O’Donoghue and Take That’s Gary Barlow.

Ronan announced he was leaving to focus on his music career and he proved he’s still got it with two performances on the show.

He treated listeners to a rendition of his song When You Say Nothing At All as well as a cover of George Michael’s Faith.

To finish up he said: “It’s really hitting me now. I can’t believe we’ve lasted seven years. I can’t believe we’ve been allowed to do this for seven years. It’s been so much fun.

“It’s all about you now Harriet, so good luck. My padawan, I hope I’ve taught you well,” he joked before going on to say:  “You have taught me so much.

“You’re the radio legend, the DJ legend and I’ve loved every minute that we’ve had. You’ve been amazing and a great mentor to me Harriet.”

He went on to say: “I’ve loved broadcasting the stories from the listeners over the years. I’m not crying, you’re crying.

“It’s been amazing and thank you all so much for listening for the last seven years. I have loved every single morning.”

He concluded by saying: “It’s been hard to get out of bed early, but you guys have been worth it. Thank you so much. I’ll be around and I’ll come back to say hi every now and then.
