Danny O'Donoghue has said he would consider making a return to The Voice UK.

Starring as a coach in the BBC One talent competition alongside Jessie J, Tom Jones and will.i.am for the first two series, he announced his departure in 2013 to concentrate on his band The Script.

However he's now revealed he wouldn't be opposed to returning to the show if his bandmates were happy for him to do so.

Speaking to BANG Showbiz at the 2014 Cosmopolitan Ultimate Women Awards in London he explained: "Yeah of course I would consider it [a return]. I loved doing it, I loved being on the show.

"Obviously it's not just me, I'm in a band, and our band has gone on to bigger and better things since the show, but if I was asked back, you never know. We might put out a greatest hits and then I'll do a bit of TV and Glen [Power, the band's drummer] will be on 'Strictly Come Dancing' or something."

Despite leaving the show to concentrate on his career, Danny revealed he now feels more confident on stage because of the programme.

"It really calmed my nerves when it comes to big events and television shows, because I was always nervous going onto those shows because it was like, 'gasp, it's 'The Voice,' or 'gasp, it's the 'X Factor,' but just being part of the show you just realise that everyone just wants to make a great show. Nobody's there to make a fool out of anybody, they're just there to make a great show, have a happy time, and go home, so that's been a good job for me."
