Rex Features

Ronan Keating has said that Boyzone being likened to Take That is "not a bad comparison".

The Irish singer is quoted by the Press Association as saying: "We will always be compared to them, we were compared to them 15 years ago, we will always be compared to Take That.

"It's not a bad comparison really, I mean they're one of the biggest bands in Europe right now, great guys, great songwriters, great entertainers. I hope that we can live up to that comparison."

Boyzone's single 'Love You Anyway', their first in nine years, was released on Monday.
