McFadden lands Aussie TV job
Ex-Westlife star Brian McFadden has landed a job as a reality TV show host in Australia.
The 28-year-old, who was married to reality TV star Kerry Katona, is to front Football Superstar.
The show aims to offer development in the hope of seeing one young player progress to a professional football career.
A chosen few will move into a special training house where they will undergo a gruelling month-long trial. An expert judging panel alongside celebrity football guests will determine who will stay and go each week as the group are culled down to a final three.
After a final trial match the winning football apprentice will walk off the pitch with a prize package comprised of a season long contract with an Australian league youth team alongside a university scholarship valued at $30,000 (£14,500).
The Irish singer, who is now dating Aussie singer Delta Goodrem, will be hosting the show Down Under later this year.
