Rock icon and all round shirtless lunatic Iggy Pop has revealed that he is a huge fan of BBC show Countryfile. 

Discussing the subject of "diversification" during his John Peel lecture at Radio Festival in Salford, he suggested that New Order's Bernard Sumner present a bird watching show. Going on to add: "Did anyone see Countryfile last night? Countryfile was great.

"There was this guy out there who drove his camper[van] into the woods with his computer and recorded birdsong. Then he'd imitate it himself, put it in the computer and mix it in with music to create something. "The presenter was on about...what was the man's name? Vaughan Williams. And the music in relation to the country.

"I thought it was a beautiful programme."

Iggy joins the likes of Pet Shop Boys and their love of The Archers, Kanye West's love of Connect 4 and Roger Daltrey's model trains, just to mention a few boring rock star habits.

Iggy delivered the John Peel lecture on BBC 6 Music on Monday night. Click here to read it in full.
