Jonathan Ross has said he wanted to steal one of the British queen's bras to give to listeners of his radio show.

Ross - who was made an OBE for services to broadcasting in the Queen's Birthday Honours list - told his popular Saturday morning show last week on BBC Radio 2 that he was going to use his upcoming trip to the palace to find competition prizes for his show, reports celebrity portal Femalefirst.

"I might whip around the royal laundry basket and get some of Philip's old boxers and her old bras." Describing the queen's bras as "over the shoulder boulder holder", Ross said: "I might see if I can get one of her bras."

The star told the audience he sometimes thinks Britain's royals are "ludicrous".

Ross started his show by playing the Sex Pistols "God Save The Queen" before confessing: "I have mixed feelings about the royal family.

"Sometimes I think they are ludicrous people completely out of touch with reality. Other times I feel very sorry for them."
