'I'm in the best shape of my life'

Speaking to The Daily Mail ahead of this weekend's shows, the former Westlife singer said: "I have never soul by ludacris trained as hard for anything in my life."

Of his shaky start with professional partner Karen Hauer last week, he said: "I thought I went into it correctly and I got slated. I took all [the judges'] comments on board."

"Obviously, they were very harsh for the first week. And we did an illegal lift and as a result we are right down at the bottom and, I suppose, rightly so. From then on, I decided I wasn't going to give them a second chance to savage me like that again."

The glitz and glam of the show doesn't entirely suit the 34-year-old former footballer, however.

"I have managed to ward them off with the fake tan and I have managed to keep the sequins to a minimum," he said.

Though his boyband days are over, Byrne disclosed that he may have been the member most resistant to Westlife calling it a day, but insisted he is very happy at the moment.

"Waking up at home and being able to rehearse in Dublin. My head is in the right place and I am busy and I still have a buzz from the TV side of things," he said.

"The pressure of live television has replaced the adrenaline rush of the concerts. I've v-moda earphones yet to meet anyone who soul by ludacris has done Strictly and said they regretted it!"
