"Where I want to be is Hollywood. So if I want to get there, I've got to earn my stripes. It's all about moving there isn't it? If I want to be taken seriously I've got to move there."

Webbe is no stranger to performing on stage as he is currently starring on London's West End and was a contestant BBC's "Strictly Come Dancing".

Before the boyband hunk was in Blue, he started his career in his hometown of Birmingham and had his first leading role his in a school play when he was 15 and he decided to become a performer.
