Surprise Surprise for Sligo's Kian Egan

None other than Sligo man Kian Egan will be giving members of the public the Surprise, Surprise of their lives as he gets set to host the hit UTV show.

The former Westlife star confirmed his television career is going from strength to strength as he revealed he will front UTV show Surprise, Surprise with Holly Willoughby.

The show was a family favourite back in the 90s when Cilla Black helped members of the public realise their wishes and reunited guests with long-lost loved ones, as well as making hilarious prank calls and playing tricks on unsuspecting members of the public.

Kian impressed the TV bosses in his role as a judge on The Voice Of Ireland and has been in demand since Westlife came to an end this year.

Now it looks like Kian’s future is sorted as yesterday he confirmed he will be co-hosting the revival of the hit TV show with the 31-year-old blonde.

Kian, who is married to actress Jodi Albert, popped over to the bootcamp stages of the Xtra Factor at the weekend as he rehearsed for his new show.

Kian said; “Also I’m down at ITV studios today filming something that will hit your screens in October and November! Exciting!

The Strandhill man also revealed he will return to the RTÉ studios for the second season of the television talent show, The Voice Of Ireland.

He has been kept busy with television projects since Westlife ended, despite saying he would take some time off.

And he's not the only one considering a career change as Kian's former band mate, Nicky Byrne, will be flying without wings on Strictly Come Dancing with his professional partner Karen Hauer.
