It was a fantastic weekend with Hits Live gigs in Birmingham and Manchester headlined by Busted on both nights. And before the band took to the stage Tom Green caught up with James Bourne, Matt Willis and Charlie Simpson where they spoke about their plans for next year and James revealed which celeb TV show he'd sign up for.

Over the years some of the band members have joined several TV shows. With Matt winning I'm a Celeb back in 2006, so with that in mind Tom asked James which TV show he'd be up for joining.

And with I'm a Celeb back on our screens, featuring our very own Sam Thompson, it turns out the band had been discussing that exact question recently, with them explaining: "We said Strictly for James, but he doesn't like the sequins..."

Going on to say: "Maybe the ice dancing show..."

However, James added he really likes dancing, so Strictly could be the show for him, but: "Can I just say the thing is that I do really like dancing, I love dancing. But the thing is, the costumes, right? Those sequin costumes...

“The sequins look scratchy!"

The band consisting of James Bourne, Matt Willis and Charlie Simpson reunited earlier this year to celebrate their 20th anniversary and announce a tour, and recently confirmed they will be on tour again in 2024, announcing more dates for the summer.

Writing on social media, Busted said: 'A quick trip to Dubai has got us excited for next summer. The following shows are already announced and we cannot wait to see you there ☀️ link in bio for tickets 🔥'.

And they told Tom they can't wait to get back on stage next year, continuing their fantastic tour.

You can hear songs by Busted on Hits Radio.
