RTE's most talked about new programme gets famous face as Westlife star Nicky Byrne lands exciting role

Nicky Byrne has landed a new RTE gig as host of a singing contest called Take On Me.

And the Westlife star, 42, issued a call out for talented hopefuls nationwide to sign up for the show.

Nicky, who co-hosts RTE’s Dancing With The Stars, said: “So, have you heard of Take On Me? No?

“Well, it’s RTE’s brand new singing game show and we’re looking for singers from right across the country who think they have what it takes to not only outsmart but out-sing their competition.”

And the Flying Without Wings hitmaker, 42, revealed there will be a prize of €25,000 up for grabs for the winner.

The Saturday night game show is a singing contest with a twist, as it requires contestants to have tactics as well as talent.

The RTE call-out explained: “This brand new original series will pit singers from around the country against each other.

“Players will need to play the game, spot their competition and have killer karaoke skills if they are going to take out their rivals.

“So whether you’re a busker, wedding singer, cabaret king or a shower-singing superstar we want to hear from you.”
