Van Day: 'I want to do Shakespeare'

Rex Features

David Van Day has revealed that he would like to take a break from reality TV and star in a Shakespeare play.

The I'm A Celebrity... star, 52, said that he would consider almost all forms of acting work.

"Eventually I'd like to do some drama, but while we're hot on the reality TV and winding people up side of things, that's what I'm going to pursue," he told DS.

"I don't mind what drama it is. It could be a soap or it could be a classic. I'm a great lover of Shakespeare and if someone offered me Puck in A Midsummer Night's Dream at an open air theatre, then I'd be there."

Van Day recently reformed his '80s pop duo Dollar with Thereza Bazar for new Living series Pop Goes The Band. However, the singer said that it was unlikely the pop act would be continuing with a full reunion.

"We have our own lives outside of the band and it's not a priority for me now because of everything that's happened in the jungle," he said. "It's not something that I'm chasing, but if something came up, I'd look at it and I'm all ears."
