Wes Nelson in talks for music career and more TV roles

Wes Nelson is in talks to launch a music career with the help of Brian McFadden.

The \'Dancing On Ice\' star has been taken under the wing of his fellow contestant, and it appears the Westlife singer could be able to point the former \'Love Island\' hunk in the right direction once the ITV skating show comes to an end.

Speaking to The Sun newspaper\'s TV Bizarre column, Wes said: "I\'ve caught the performance bug now. When you finish a routine, you get that overwhelming feeling. Performing is so enjoyable and I see why everyone loves it now.

"I sang on \'Love Island\' but producers never showed it because of copyright reasons. We were singing all the time.

"I\'ve been speaking to Brian\'s label and they had a meeting with me but for now just ice skating. It would be R&B and pop."

Wes, 20, will compete with Saara Alto and James Jordan in this weekend\'s final, and despite his musical ambitions he isn\'t ready to turn his back on television just yet.

He added that he has also lined up some discussions with TV bosses once \'Dancing On Ice\' is over, and he hinted the potential project should be "a really exciting one" to keep an eye on.

He teased: "I\'ve got some development meetings after this show which are really exciting. It\'s not reality based, it\'s more about me doing something a bit more serious as well as keeping in touch with my jokey, happy, silly side.

"There could be elements of my engineering within it -- but I\'m not giving away the format. It\'s a really exciting one, I\'m looking forward to getting involved and you seeing it."
