Fall Out Boy rocker Pete Wentz has admitted that he hates celebrating his birthday.

The bass player told E! that he finds it uncomfortable accepting presents from friends and family.

He explained: "The truth is I hate my birthday. I don't like it at all. It's because I realised I'm bad at receiving presents.

"I'm really bad at receiving presents so I get really nervous around my birthday and I really don't want people to give me presents."

The 29-year-old revealed that wife Ashlee Simpson gave him a motorbike last Christmas.

"That was pretty awesome," he said. "I haven't learned how to ride it really that well."
