Ronan Keating

Ronan has also been asked to act in a film

It's hard to credit it - but a the age of 26, Ronan Keating has already spent 10 years at the top of the music business.

The Irish born singer burst onto the scene 10 years ago, with the original boy-band Boyzone.

Since their break-up, he's been the only member of the band to achieve solo success - with hits such as Life is a Rollercoaster and If Tomorrow Never Comes.

He's also been nurturing new talent, especially among Irish singers - and has played a prominent role in guiding another Irish band, Westlife.

At 0840 Ronan joined us live on the Breakfast sofa. He talked to us about his new single and album - and his latest venture into film.

Ronan Keating's new single, Lost for Words, is out on Monday November 10. His third solo album Turn it On will be released on November 17
