Keating offered Take That support slot

Ronan Keating has confirmed that he asked Take That to support Boyzone on their reunion tour.

The singer admitted that he called boyband rival Gary Barlow and offered him the opportunity to perform with his group around the UK.

He told The Sun: "I spoke to Gary Barlow. I called him to say I was looking for a support act and would they be up for it?"

Keating said yesterday that Boyzone look better on stage than Take That.
