Jonas puzzled by English accents

Teen popstar Joe Jonas has admitted that he finds English girls difficult to understand.

Appearing with his band the Jonas Brothers on The Nokia Green Room, the US singer said he often misunderstands English accents.

When asked by Tara Palmer-Tomkinson whether he preferred English or American girls, Jonas responded: "The accents are great here. I was walking down the street and I saw a pretty girl, so I thought I'd say 'hey'.

"They said something so cool, it was like 'hiyo' or 'heya' or something. That's like a karate noise, I thought I was going to be hit in the face."

Fellow band member Kevin confessed that having a lot of female attention isn't always a good thing, saying: "A girl chain-linked herself to a pole outside our house the other day. That was a new one!"

The Nokia Green Room airs Sunday at 1.10pm on Channel 4.
