Shannon Noll’s shock new career goal
Shannon Noll might have been pipped at the post by Fiona O’Loughlin in the I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! final, but a recent interview suggests the singer is still keen to use the show as a springboard to launch his shock new career goal.
Speaking to The Daily Telegraph, the one-time Australian Idol runner-up said he was open to anywhere his career would take him, including a stint in politics.
“I am very passionate about things and I am very passionate about the country I live in and the place that I love so if there was a part that suited me, I would definitely have a think about it,” the 42-year-old singer said.
“I have had some conversations about it but I will be doing my research before I make any decisions.”
Noll also said he’d be keen to try his hand at acting.
“I’ve thought about acting for years but never really pushed hard enough but now, after the show, I can’t not push anymore,” he said.
“It is one of those things you will regret if the opportunity comes up and you don’t take it. You would be mad to brush anything that comes out of this.”
Noll, who was runner-up to Guy Sebastian on the first series of Australian Idol way back in 2003, said the irony of placing second again wasn’t lost on him.
“Can you believe it?” he laughed. “The memes will be funny.”
But in the end of the day, he was happy to see O’Loughlin win.
“I wouldn’t have wanted anyone else to win but her,” he said.
“This is very different to Australian Idol. To make it to the last day, it sort of doesn’t matter if you are first, second or third out of that. To make it through the whole thing is just amazing.”
