The Capital FM presenter then went on to say: “The Beatles, I just don’t really get it. Yes, I know this is the Guardian but I want to be honest. However, that is a phenomenal song. I would put Hey Jude in the same category.”

Ronan also said his go to karaoke song is ‘It’s Not Unusual’ by Tom Jones and that he can’t stand, ‘Starman’ by David Bowie.

This leaves us with two questions, why would anyone pretend to hate ‘Imagine’ and what’s not to get about The Beatles?
