Keith Duffy hopes Perri Kiely is too ill to compete in the 'Splash!' final this weekend.
The Boyzone singer has joked that the Diversity dancer, who is feeling under the weather ahead of the diving competition's grand finale on Saturday (15.02.14), is such huge competition he hopes he isn't able to take part.
He quipped on ITV's 'Lorraine' today (13.02.14): "Hopefully he stays kind of ill, he's too good!"
Keith, 39, is joined in the final by Perri, 'The Only Way is Essex' hunk Dan Osborne and athlete Richard Whitehead, and he feels like he is the "old man" among the finalists.
He said: "I didn't realise that I'd be competing with guys like 18 years younger than me, I'm the old man in the panel!"
The Irish star suffered an embarrassing wardrobe malfunction during his first dive in the competition, when his swimming trunks came down while he was in the water.
Keith thinks his flesh-baring moment could have been the reason for his success so far, however.
He quipped: "My wife wasn't too pleased, I have to say. But you reckon that's the reason I'm [still] here?"
The 'Splash!' final airs on ITV on Saturday and the show's sponsor, Hula Hoops, is celebrating the final episode by giving away a year's supply of the tasty snack to lucky viewers.
If one of the contestants scores a perfect 10 in the final, fans are encouraged to tweet the hashtag #Perfect10 to @HulaHoopsUK. The first 10 people to do so will win the year's supply of Hula Hoops.

Bruce Jenner wants nothing more to do with Hollywood.
The 64-year-old Olympic gold medallist has reportedly decided to turn his back on fame and his own reality TV show 'Keeping Up With the Kardashians' following his split from wife Kris Jenner in October.
The athlete has reluctantly continued to take part in the programme - which is currently shooting its final installment of the series - when necessary and prefers to film his scenes at his home in Malibu, but he is adamant we won't return to the show if it is renewed next season.
Bruce is keen to spend his time playing golf, flying helicopters, riding motorcycles and spending time with his children, Kendall, 18, and Kylie, 16 - who he has with Kris - and Brandon, 32, and Brody, 30, who he has with his ex-wife Linda Thompson .
According to TMZ.com, Bruce wants to try and build the relationship with his sons that he never had as they were growing up and wants his base to be in Malibu rather than Los Angeles.
Meanwhile, the star - who was married to Kris for 22 years - has been trying to embrace the single life,and reportedly underwent a laryngeal shave to reduce the size of his Adam's apple last month, and grew his hair long, in a desperate bid to stay youthful.
A source said previously: "He totally has this 'I may be an old man, but I'm cool and young too' syndrome and no one can tell him otherwise.
"He's a bit lonely, but he's doing his thing. Everything in the end of his marriage just became too much for him and his freedom is really liberating. He wanted to grow his hair long, so he did it. He wants to get manicures, so he gets them."

Will Poulter is taking his mother as his date to the BAFTAs.
The 'We're the Millers' actor - who is nominated for the prestigious EE Rising Star Award - will share his special moment at the British Academy Film Awards on Sunday (16.02.14) with his parents and insisted his mum Caroline join him on the red carpet.
Speaking to BANG Showbiz at EE and Esquire magazine's pre-BAFTA bash at London's The Savoy hotel last night (12.02.14), Will said: "My mum is sat next to me. I told my mum she has to be included. I was like, 'You're coming, no two ways about it.' So my mum's coming, and my dad's going to be sat at the back, but they're both going to be there."
The 21-year-old star admits he is "terrified" about his nomination and hasn't even thought about writing an acceptance speech in case he jinxes his chances of winning.
He enthused: "I'm excited about Sunday, looking forward to it very much. I'm excited, obviously, to be nominated for such a prestigious award but I'm terrified as well.
"I have yet to write a speech. I'm worried that will jinx it."
The affable British actor - who is up for the Rising Star Award with Dane DeHaan, Lupita Nyong'o, George MacKay and Lea Seydoux - also revealed he is backing his close pal George, 21, for the win if he doesn't get the prize himself.
He said: "That's so tough! I'm a genuine fan of all of them. George is a very good friend, so it's difficult to choose. Because George is my mate, I have to say George! And he's totally deserving."

Sir Roger Moore is urging shoppers to boycott the opening of a Fortnum & Mason store in Dubai.
The 86-year-old actor - famed for portraying James Bond in seven movies - has warned shoppers in the region against the prestigious department store, which is widely slammed by animal rights groups for selling foie gras in the UK.
The expensive pate sees birds force-fed grain multiple times a day until their liver swells up to 10 times its normal size. Although foie gras production is banned in the UK, Fortnum and Mason commonly import the products from French farmers to be sold in its Piccadilly store.
Moore said: "Fortnum & Mason is widely condemned and boycotted in Britain as one of the last department stores that still sells foie gras - a product so cruel that it is illegal to produce both there and in more than a dozen other countries.
"I invite compassionate Dubai shoppers to join us in calling on Fortnum & Mason to end its involvement in the barbaric force-feeding of birds for foie gras."
Moore's comments come after new footage, as part of an investigation by PETA, revealed the cruel conditions on the farms where geese not only suffer breathing difficulties as a result of their distended livers, but are killed without being stunned first which is contrary to French and British animal welfare laws.
Sir Roger is one of many prominent British figures - including Dame Vera Lynn, Twiggy, Ricky Gervais, Joanna Lumley and Kate Winslet - who have supported PETA's campaign against foie gras.
