Singer Gwen Stefani choked back tears and was left "shaking" on The One Show as she was surprised with a secret message from her musical hero. And the visibly emotional Hollaback Girl singer reduced show hosts Alex Jones and Jermaine Jenas to fits of giggles as she cut down the former footballer during their interview.
The message was from Pauline Black of the ska band The Selecter, whom Gwen credits as being a massive inspiration to her musically and on whom she based a lot of her own unique style. The No Doubt frontwoman told the presenters on Monday's BBC One show: "[Pauline] was really the only girl that was out there on that kind of scene."
She added: "Everything about my style was trying to take from her because her style was so extreme. Definitely a huge fan. I wouldn't be me without The Selecter and all those bands."
