'Of course I'd love to wed Storm,' reveals Ronan Keating

Ronan Keating and Storm Uechtritz

Ronan Keating has revealed that he wants to marry his girlfriend Storm Uechtritz.

The couple have been together for around two years after meeting on the set of X Factor Australia where she used to work as a producer on the talent show.

They hooked up a few months after Ronan's split from his wife Yvonne in 2012 and now it looks like they're ready to take their relationship to the next level.

"Of course we'd love to, yes... there'll be no secret, we haven't planned anything yet - we'd have to tell our families first," he said.

"And of course I'd have to ask her and she might not even say yes. There are so many things that have to happen before I can tell you.

"There's a whole process, so please let me do that before I tell you and the rest of the country," he said, speaking on ITV's This Morning.

The Boyzone singer previously said that if they got married he'd like to have a Game of Thrones-themed wedding, although he doesn't think Storm (34) will agree with his choice.

Storm has also revealed that they've discussed having a family together and they recently welcomed pug Aussie to their brood.

"We've talked about having a baby and it is a possibility for us, yes," she said.

Ronan (37) has been performing in Once: The Musical at London's Phoenix Theatre and admitted he was a bag of nerves on the night of his first show last November.

"It was frightening, really intimidating and I've never done anything like that before... it's very different [from concerts] - you feel very exposed," he revealed.

"I've loved every minute of it, but wow, it's been full-on. I felt like I was naked on stage."
