The Daily Mail reports James Gooding is on the brink of providing on-off girlfriend Kylie Minogue with competition in the workplace.

After receiving singing lessons from Kylie during their 2 and a half year relationship, James plans to launch a pop career.

The fellah has been spotted asking advice from the likes of Westlife.

He also has been reportedly overheard saying that he plans to give Kylie a good run for her money in the music business and see how she feels when girls throw themselves all over him. He wants to give Kylie a bit of her own medicine after she allowed Justin Timberlake to cop a feel of her infamous rear end during their duet for the Brit Awards.
