He told EVOKE: ‘I love teaching. I want to go back teaching. Not this year. Maybe next year.
‘I’m just taking the career break this year. But I’m going to go subbing and stuff this year.
‘I miss teaching so much. I was only saying…. I just I don’t like the sitting around doing the social media. Like I like doing it, but I’d way rather be in a classroom teaching.’
But Sean said he hopes to do more reality TV over the next few months as he added fuel to speculation he could sign up to RTÉ’s Dancing With The Stars.
‘I’ve heard those rumours as well. I don’t know yet, but to be honest, I would be into doing all that kind of stuff to be fair. I do like it, and I do like Dancing With The Stars and all that kind of stuff.
But he admitted that the dream would be to be on ‘I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here’.
‘That would be the goal. That would be my dream.’
