Finally sorted this by changing the permissions of /var/spool/cron/crontabs/root to 644 but not entirely sure why this happened in the first place

OUTPUT FROM /var/log/messages

NOT WORKING:

Oct 26 14:50:01 zgemmah7 cron.info crond[2086]: (root) BAD FILE MODE (/var/spool/cron/crontabs/root)

CHANGED PERMISSIONS OF /var/spool/cron/crontabs/root to 644

What were they before, cron checks there is no group/public rw access on cron files/directories to prevent unauthorised root access on systems with multiple userids.

Open to all permissions were set at 777 for some reason
