Ronan Keating<\/a> is ending 2025 on a high, saying he’s ‘honoured’ to have been asked to present a huge night of TV.<\/p>\n

The singer is mixing up his usual New Year’s Eve routine this year, and instead of seeing the start of 2026 with family at home, he’ll be spending the night with pals… and thousands of viewers.<\/p>\n

Ronan, 48, who was recently revealed to be fronting his own travel show on BBC<\/a>, told the Scott Mills Breakfast Show on BBC Radio 2: \u2018When I got the call I was truly honoured. <\/p>\n

‘Honestly, it\u2019s such an honour to be there on the night performing with my friends and with my band, all these songs.\u2019<\/p>\n

The Dubliner said he usually celebrates New Year\u2019s Eve with his family. He said: \u2018It\u2019s always our tradition, we don\u2019t do parties, really. Being at home in the house, counting down, having dinner with the family.<\/p>\n

\u2018It\u2019s such a special one and to see the New Year in with your loved ones is everything.\u2019 <\/p>\n

The singer added: \u2018I\u2019ll be able to share it with how many millions of people across the UK on New Year\u2019s Eve, I can\u2019t wait.\u2019<\/p>\n

Jonathan Rothery, head of popular music TV at the BBC, said: \u2018New Year\u2019s Eve on BBC One is one of our biggest music moments of the year.<\/p>\n
