Ronan Keating has described Radiohead frontman Thom Yorke as the rudest popstar he's ever met.

Speaking to Metro, the Boyzone singer recalled an encounter with Yorke at a hotel in Ireland.

"Thom Yorke from Radiohead was pretty rude," he commented. "We were at the same hotel in Dublin and I went over to say hello as I'm a big Radiohead fan and he just blanked me. I still love the music - he's just an idiot."

Boyzone's comeback single 'Love You Anyway' is released next Monday (September 29). They will embark on their second tour since reforming in May of next year.
