The former Beatles drummer said he was a "huge fan" of the EU when it started but claimed it had failed to turn into a "love fest".

Reacting to the referendum result, Starr said: "I think it’s good. Get back on our own feet.

"I was a huge fan when the EU started. I\'ve lived all over Europe so I thought \'how great\'. But it never really got together, I didn\'t think.

"Maybe in a business way it got together but everyone kept their own flags… it didn\'t really turn into a love fest."

Starr, who lives in Los Angeles, is just one of a host of celebrities to come out in support of Britain ditching Brussels.

In 2014 the businessman told his followers: "We must leave the EU... MUST. There are many many reasons but when I consider them all I know we are better off out of it."

Former footballer Sol Campbell, who played for England and Arsenal, backed Brexit because freedom of movement rules mean young British players are "crowded out".
