Boyzone star Ronan eating has revealed what is possibly one of his most embarrassing moments.

Ronan, 37, was meeting Pope Benedict XVI in 2011 whilst visiting the Vatican.

Nerves got the better of the star when he met the Pope (who, by the way, is leader of the ENTIRE Catholic church) and he had a bit of a struggle following Papal protocol.

“When greeting Pope Benedict a few years ago I was meant to kiss the papal ring, but I headbutted his hand instead. He just laughed at me,” he told The Sun.

Whoops!

Ronan- who is currently appearing in West End musical Once- has recently revealed that he still doesn’t know how to do his own washing.

After splitting from wife Yvonne Connolly in 2011, he said: “I don’t know how to use a washing machine."

Poor, hapless Ronan. We still love you.
