Ronan Keating's new BBC series is to see him show off his GAA skills.
The series, Ronan Keating's Wild Atlantic which premiered earlier this month (March 16), sees the former Boyzone singer join forces with the BBC, as he returns to his native Ireland to explore all the aesthetic delights of the country.
In the series, Keating hits the road, visiting several counties and many places that he had travelled to throughout his childhood. Such counties on the list include Cork, Kerry, Mayo, Sligo, with several family members and famous faces featuring throughout.
"It's felt really special making this series, discovering magical places that have meant so much to me and my family. I was 16 when I left Ireland, and there was so much of the west coast I hadn't seen. Now, I'm coming home, and I can't wait for viewers to share all the laughter and tears along the way", Keating told the BBC.
However, there is one particular part of the country that viewers will be especially intrigued by.
During his visit to Kerry, Ronan Keating will meet up with his brother Gary for a spot of fishing, before they hit the GAA pitch, Dr Crokes to be precise, a club synonymous with some of the finest footballers that the Kingdom have ever produced, including Colm 'Gooch' Cooper, Johnny Buckley, Eoin Brosnan and Pat O'Shea to name a few.
Taking to social media, the club shared a photo of Keating in GAA gear and holding the famous Liam McCarthy cup.
"We were delighted to welcome Ronan Keating to Dr Crokes GAA Club earlier in the year as part of a special TV show following his journey along the Wild Atlantic Way. We can’t wait to watch Brendan and Mike as they put Ronan through his paces on the hurling field!", they said.

On St Patricks' Day, Ronan Keating and Keith Duffy raised a glass in tribute to their late Boyzone bandmate, Stephen Gately, on what would have been his 50th birthday. Gately passed away in 2009 aged 33.
Sharing a video of himself with a pint of Guinness in a pub in Sydney on St Patrick's Day, Keating wrote: "Happy 50th Steo and Happy Paddy's Day, world".
"On a day like today, especially today, it's very important we as a family remember our brother Stephen Gately. He would've been 50 today. 17 years an angel", Keith Duffy wrote. "So today, we didn't know what to do, to be honest, but we wanted to make sure he was part of our day,' he continued, before the camera pans to a birthday set-up in honour of Stephen".
