Dan Osborne wants to pursue a career in acting.
'The Only Way Is Essex' hunk - who is dating 'EastEnders' actress Jacqueline Jossa - has revealed he's hoping to follow in her footsteps by trying his hand at acting.
Quizzed on whether he had any plans for his future aside from filming the ITV2 reality series, he confessed: "I want to be an actor. That was my ambition before TOWIE. I have always wanted to be an actor. I've had a few acting classes.
"I think I'd be good at it. You've just got to be luck though."
The 23-year-old star also revealed he wouldn't mind taking on a similar role to Dermot O'Leary on the 'X Factor'.
He added to new! magazine: "I'd love to present too."
Dan - who welcomed his first child, son Teddy, with his ex-girlfriend earlier this year - claims his new girlfriend would be more than supportive if he was to land an acting role.
Quizzed on whether the soap star would help him learn his lines, he added: "Yeah, we would go through them together."

Cheryl Cole is determined to win this year's 'X Factor'.
The 31-year-old pop star - who previously mentored winners Alexandra Burke and Joe McElderry - has revealed she's going to work tirelessly to ensure one of her acts wins the new series.
Talking to Greg James on BBC Radio 1 about possibly winning the show, Cheryl shared: "I'm gonna give it everything I've got."
The 'Crazy Stupid Love' songstress was famously fired from the American version of 'The X Factor' by show boss Simon Cowell in 2011, but now they're both back for the new series and Cheryl says they're good friends again.
Talking about their renewed friendship, she said: "[It's] good, like we've never been away, to be honest. I mean, obviously we don't agree on everything but that's how our relationship is."
Cheryl also downplayed any notion of a rivalry between her and new judge Mel B and praised the former Spice Girl for being "lovely".
She enthused:"She's actually lovely and funny. She's really nice."
The singer is happy that producers changed the audition process last year, with hopefuls now performing for the judges in an intimate room before singing again in front of a live audience.
Cheryl explained: "It's actually been going really well. We're back in to the small rooms for the first stages, which I always find better because it's a bit more personable. You can get to know [the contestants] without 3,000 people screaming."
Cheryl then joked: "And then, especially if you've got Simon's face looking at you, that's scary enough let alone 3,000 people."

Steven Moffat thinks 'Sherlock' "would be over by now" if he made more episodes.
The show's executive producer has hit back at a recent BBC Trust report, which argued it would be of great benefit to BBC One to air 12 episodes of the hit detective drama, insisting the show's leading men Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman would have quit if it was any longer than three episodes per series.
Speaking at the European premiere of 'Guardians of the Galaxy' in London's Leicester Square last night (24.07.14), Steven exclusively told BANG Showbiz: "BBC should be more innovative and make more of 'Sherlock'? Do they know what innovative means is my question?!
"It would never happen now. It could have happened at the beginning but had it happened, the show would be over by now because the boys wouldn't be doing it. That will never happen.
"I'm quite surprised we're announcing four [episodes for 2015] because it's normally three - and that's a huge step up for us!"
Martin - who plays Dr. John Watson - recently earned two Emmy Award nominations in the US and Steven admits he worries he may lose his two stars, both of whom have built up impressive film careers, to Hollywood.
However, the talented writer believes Martin and Benedict both love making 'Sherlock' as it's a nice break from their busy TV and film commitments in America.
He explained: "I think we might lose all of them to the US! In a way we have. If we were doing long runs of 'Sherlock', we'd have them lost them already.
"It's the fact they love it so much that they want to come back. Because it's an occasional treat, every two years you get back together and make a few of them - that can go on a bit.
"We're very proud and one day I suppose that pride will stop us making it because we don't ever want to make a bad one.
"We're all very excited by it and we all know whatever other successes we have or are having, we'll never have an experience like that."

'Thunderbirds Are Go!' producers have unveiled the first look at the new Tracy Island.
ITV Studios and Pukeko Pictures, who are rebooting the classic children's show for a new generation, have shared a glimpse at the iconic location in conjunction with a panel celebrating the franchise at San Diego Comic Con.
The picture shows the isolated, high-tech Tracy Island - which memorably boasted its own retractable swimming pool and tilting palm trees - surrounded by serene seawater.
Executive producer Giles Ridge said: "It's great to have the chance to give fans a sneak peak at the home of Thunderbirds. Tracy Island was a much loved feature of the original show, so it felt right that we showcase our new-look location with the show's followers."
'Thunderbirds Are Go!' will begin airing in 2015, exactly 50 years after the original series.
Hollywood actress Rosamund Pike will voice Lady Penelope in the new show, while original 'Thunderbirds' voice actor David Graham will reprise his role as her chauffeur Aloysius Parker.
The cast also includes Kayvan Novak, Thomas Brodie Sangster and Rasmus Hardiker.
Unlike the original show, which used puppets, 'Thunderbirds Are Go!' will be a mix of live action and CGI. Producers have enlisted Weta Workshop, the special effects company behind the 'Lord of the Rings' and 'Hobbit' movies, to bring the iconic characters to life.
The show will air on ITV and CITV next year.

Downton Abbey's Lady Mary Crawley and Tom Branson won't have a romance, insists Michelle Dockery.
Fans have speculated the grieving pair - who both lost their respective partners in the third series - may find comfort in each other, but the 32-year-old actress is adamant her alter-ego won't fall for her brother-in-law.
Mary's husband Matthew Crawley perished in a fatal car crash in the Christmas 2012 special, while her sister Lady Sybil - Tom's wife - died during childbirth earlier in the same series.
Michelle told The Sun newspaper: "Mary and Tom's friendship has really grown. They are both looking for love - just not with each other."
The Emmy-nominated actress believes her character has found her independence since her husband's death and will be more assertive than ever in the upcoming fifth series.
She explained: "Mary is embracing her new life, she has grown up. In the first series, she was this very young, spoilt girl with everyone telling her what to do and her trying to break free of that.
"But now she is a woman and a mother. She is old enough to make her own decisions."
While the hit show is full of high drama, the mood off-set is far more relaxed.
Michelle added: "We're always laughing - sometimes it's hard for us to keep a straight face."

Jo Brand has slammed 'Britain's Got Talent' as "cruel".
The 57-year-old comedienne - who acted as a judge on ITV celebrity reality show 'Splash!' - has slammed the channel's talent shows, claiming they exploit people with mental illnesses.
She said: "I have a huge ambivalence to shows like 'The X Factor' and particularly 'Britain's Got Talent' because I think they wheel on people who have mental health problems for other people to laugh about.
"I feel very angry about that. It is easy for all of us to take the p*ss out of someone who thinks they can sing when they can't and I think that's very cruel. The field of mental illness is very complex because as well as issues like schizophrenia or depression there are lots of other different shades of problems.
"Someone may have a personality disorder or schizoaffective disorder. There's also delusion but sometimes that can be a symptom of schizophrenia."
The 'QI' star and former mental health nurse also insisted that individuals with these illnesses who try out for Simon Cowell's talent search contests need people around them to help them understand they may not be as skilled as they believe themselves to be.
Jo told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "I don't understand why their families can't tell them the truth. Or are they so socially isolated that they don't have family and friends to tell them the truth?
"It's more and more a feature of society - to hold people up to ridicule for one reason or another."

Miranda Hart won't film another full series of 'Miranda' but has promised a Christmas special.
The actress-and-comedienne has revealed there are no plans for a fourth series of her hit BBC sitcom, but she will star in the odd special in a similar manner to 'The Royle Family'.
Talking to Alan Carr on his 'Chatty Man Summer Special' - which airs on Channel 4 tonight (25.07.14) - she explained: "It will be a couple of specials, not a full series. Everyone wants me to get back with Gary [Barlow] - that's the general vibe.
"I have got to answer the question of where I left it at [the end of] series three. I think I know what's going to happen."
Miranda won't be resting on her laurels, though, as she resumes her popular comedy tour, 'My, What I Call', in October.
She shared: "I am going back on tour, a week at The O2 in London and Wembley. I try to feel like a pop star when I play The O2. I pretend to be Madonna backstage. Is that sad?"
She might pretend to act like a pop star on stage, but when it comes to partying like one, Miranda isn't so keen.
While discussing festivals with Alan, the 41-year-old comic joked: "I think once you are over 36 you should not go to music festivals. You have to do that boots-and-shorts thing and it's not for me.
"When I am 60 or 70 I might start going. I will stop caring then and will do drugs."

Karen Gillan insists she won't abandon Britain for Hollywood.
The 26-year-old actress is set to star in new US sitcom 'Selfie', but she won't make a permanent move to Los Angeles if the show's a success.
Speaking at the European premiere of her new film 'Guardians of the Galaxy' in London's Leicester Square last night (24.07.14), Karen exclusively told BANG Showbiz: "I'm not going to leave the UK, I promise. I'm coming home as much as possible.
"I miss home so much, I have to be totally honest."
But the former 'Doctor Who' star - who will play a vapid American girl in the new comedy - admits she felt the need to expand her acting horizons because she doesn't want to be stuck making British period dramas.
She said: "The opportunities for actresses my age out there are really amazing. They're amazing here too, but I feel like it's a lot of period dramas and I don't really want to wear a corset for the rest of my career."
Karen's former boss, 'Doctor Who' executive producer Steven Moffat, showed support for the flame-haired beauty at the 'Guardians of the Galaxy' premiere and he was full of praise for the starlet.
However, he doesn't feel he deserves credit for bringing her to worldwide attention by casting her as Amy Pond.
Steven enthused: "It's phenomenal! I suppose she is a film star, she looks like one and she's genuinely, hugely talented and tremendously ambitious.
"I don't deserve an iota of the credit. I'm lucky in some casting choices of late, but it's easy to spot brilliant people. It's Karen's talent that's taken her here."

Brooke Vincent has landed a new Coronation Street contract.
The 22-year-old actress has signed on to stay with the ITV soap for another year as show bosses are keen to play out the lesbian fling between her character, Sophie Webster, and her love interest Maddie Heath, played by Amy James-Kelly.
The soap's writers are said to have "big plans" for the pair after their first kiss scored an audience of eight million in January this year.
An insider told The Sun newspaper: "Sophie's relationship with Maddie has gone down a storm so Street bosses now want to take that to the next level.
"There is certainly a lot of potential for the romance to heat up and we have high hopes for the storyline.
"Brooke and Amy have been promised more time on screen this year and they are thrilled with the way things are developing."
Meanwhile, Brooke recently admitted she is struggling to find love again following her split from her footballer ex Josh McEachran, as men assume she is only interested in women.
She said: "That's the first question a lad will ask me, 'Are you really a lesbian?' "
