The One Show's Alex Jones takes savage music career swipe at BBC co-star
The One Show got off to a savage start on Thursday night (September) when host Alex Jones took a savage dig at her co-star.The hit BBC One programme had only just begun when Welsh presenter Alex decided to swipe at Ronan Keating in front of the nation.It's no secret that former pop star Ronan was a member of Boyzone, one of the biggest boybands ever, before he turned his talents to broadcasting.READ MORE:BBC's The One Show fans 'in tears' as Jeff Bridges opens up on cancer battleHowever, it seems Alex isn't that impressed with her co-host's music career, at least if her cheeky jibes are anything to go by.Or a better way to put it might be that she hinted she thinks Take That are simply bigger or better than Boyzone.Alex teased Ronan as she introduced the star-studded guests on Thursday's show, which included Take That legend Mark Owen, veteran broadcaster David Dimbleby and Country icon Shania Twain.She said: "He's one third of one of the biggest boybands of all time..." before looking over at Ronan, who looked rather excited as if he thought she was talking about him.However, Alex snubbed Ronan when she looked away from him and quipped: "Take That," and she couldn't help giggling.Playing the sketch well, Ronan looked away gutted at his colleague's assessment before carrying on with the show.Mark was there to plug his new tour and his upcoming album, Land of Dreams, which is set for release at the end of September.It comes after Gary Barlow promised Take That fans that plenty was in store for the iconic boyband.Speaking on The Zoe Ball Breakfast Show on Radio 2, he said: "There's a lot of Take That stuff coming up in the future.

‘Those little moments' Gary Barlow shares rare insight into his relationship with Queen
Queen Elizabeth II.The former Take That star paid his respects to her following the monarch’s death last week and ahead of her state funeral today. The singer and TV show judge said he had a “tear in my eye” when he heard the news of the monarch's death. Gary - who first met the Queen in 1993 at the Royal Variety Performance - said she “did such a wonderful job and was such a wonderful example to us all".He said that the pair may have met up with one another as many as 30 times over the last 30 years. Gary spoke to The Sun about his track Sing, which he co-wrote alongside Andrew Lloyd Webber for the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee in 2012, which formed part of an “impromptu concert” for the monarch.The concert, said the hitmaker, was an intimate gathering where he performed Sing for the Queen around the time of her birthday that same year. He said that the track was one of the Queen’s “favourite songs”. Gary told the publication that she had a way of putting people at ease around her, and wasn’t as intimidating as her title would suggest. He said: “She was so good at putting everyone at ease, she never let anyone feel intimidated.”Gary explained her focus during the Platinum Jubilee concert earlier this year was for everyone else to have a good time, rather than the focus being on her alone. Gary was propelled to mainstream success as part of Nineties boy band Take That. He also has previous experience judging music talent contests, having been a judge on The X Factor from 2011 to 2013.However, the Rule The World singer spoke in the past about feeling completely out of his comfort zone when having met the Queen on one occasion. The pop star had been asked to mastermind Her Majesty's Diamond Jubilee concert in 2012 which included
