A Take That quip has been named the best new Christmas cracker joke.

UK TV channel Gold recently asked the public to submit their own festive gags for a competition.

The winning entry poked fun at the recent departure of Jason Orange from Take That.

Lynne Newton's effort said: "What will be missing from Take That’s Christmas stocking this year? An Orange."

The jester was treated to a £1,500 holiday for her efforts.

A U2 themed joke meanwhile was placed at No.6 on Gold's list:

"What’s the difference between Bono and Santa? Santa gives you things you want."
