He subsequently developed the idea for a DVD titled Ricky Hatton - A Life Story. Seward was executive producer for the DVD, which features "Heart Of A Winner" as its title theme, as well as including the music video and interviews with Hatton and Seward.
In December 2005, Seward sang alongside Elaine Paige and John Barrowman in a Christmas concert performed at the Birmingham Symphony Hall with the BBC Symphony Orchestra. The show featured him on piano and was aired on BBC Radio 2 as part of their Christmas season.
