Boyzone star Shane Lynch has decided to permanently leave show business as he "can't afford to go out on tour".
The Dubliner will however still appear on “The Real Housewives Of Cheshire” with his wife Sheena.
He told New magazine: “In the last year or so I’ve made the active decision to completely exit from the industry, whether that be music or TV. The only thing you’ll see me do is Real Housewives because that is part of our lives and they came into our home and it is all genuine.

“I happen to be a part of that, but my business life has gone to a whole new level and I’m happy with that.”
The 46-year-old now focuses on business. He began a business partnership and opened a chain of 1920s inspired barber shops called “The Elk & Clipper”. Shane and Sheena also own an Irish bar in Cheshire called D13, named after the area in Dublin Shane grew up in.
He added: "We moved up to Cheshire for business, hence why Sheena ended up on the show, and I’m ok with that. I’m happy to concentrate solely on the businesses that we have running.
"We have about five or six. I can’t afford to go on tour for two months. It just doesn’t fit into my life."
