Northampton Saints star Ben Foden has revealed that he wants to become the fifth member of boyband 5ive.

The 27-year-old, who is married to The Saturdays singer Una Healy, has admitted that he would be more than happy to replace outgoing member Jay Brown.

"When J said he was leaving I was like, 'I can do it!'" The Sun quotes Foden as saying.

The England scrum-half is thought to have auditioned for reality singing show Pop Idol in the past.
