The Script frontman Danny O'Donoghue has revealed the details of his embarrassing first encounter with Bono when he was just 17-years-old.

The singer told The Guardian: "The first time I met Bono I was 17 years old and U2's manager was also my manager. I was invited out to this greyhound park that U2 owned."

He continued: "Our guitarist Mark got to sit next to The Edge and I was ******* furious because I wasn't sitting next to anybody. Mark spots that I'm drunk and tries to get me to leave.

"Later on, Bono asks if everyone wants to go to this nightclub he owns called The Kitchen and I was like, '**** yeah'."

O'Donoghue added: "So listen to this – I turn to wave at the lads, U2, and just as I waved I reached the stairs and I went down the whole flight of stars on my ******* face. In front of U2. It was the funniest **** ever. I was back home in bed by 11.30."
