Darius Danesh final months

In his final weeks, Darius was reportedly “really excited” as he made plans for reuniting with his showbiz pals in the UK.

According to reports, the singer was set to return to the UK for a special Pop Idol reunion being made by Thames TV.

Darius appeared on the first ever series of the ITV talent show and came third behind singers Will Young and Gareth Gates.

Stars of the show were apparently invited back to film at Criterion Theatre in London’s West End, where it all began!

Reports claim the line-up of stars even included singer Adam Lambert, who won American Idol.

Speaking to The Sun, an insider claimed that Darius was looking forward to the reunion.

The source said: “He was really excited about the reunion and was in talks with producers to appear on it. They were looking at getting filming started around the end of September.

“It was going to be an hour-and-a-half special hosted by Ant and Dec and full of nostalgia for the millions of Pop Idol fans.

“I spoke to Darius recently and he was in good spirits- he was his usual happy self.”
