Boyzone have revealed that they would like to organise a collaboration with Take That for their next album.

The boyband admitted that their reunion was inspired by Take That and singer Stephen Gately suggested that they perform a track together in the future.

"It would be great although I don't know whether they'd be up for doing it," he told the Daily Star.

"Please tell them I would love to do it. I'm a big Take That fan and they've definitely set the benchmark."

Gately proposed that the two acts do a song in the style of Girls Aloud and Sugababes' charity single 'Walk This Way'.
