Louis Tomlinson responds to The Wanted’s latest jibes

The rivalry between One Direction and The Wanted was once again reignited last night after Louis Tomlinson responded to comments made by Jay McGuiness in a recent interview.

When asked about the ‘Kiss You’ stars by an Australian radio station, McGuiness stated that he initially had no problem with the group:

“It generated just because we were two UK boybands… People were like, is there a rivalry? Well yeah, in the charts there is, but we don’t have anything against them. But then over time it generated a bit of bad feeling.

“You hear comments they’ve said in interviews to wind you up, and vice versa and then…it’s kind of fake, but then a few of the lads have wound me up personally.”

The 22-year-old then admitted that although he likes Harry Styles, he’s often irritated by the behaviour of several of his bandmates:

“I think he’s retained manners and a bit of dignity, whereas some of them, when they mouth off it really gets under my skin. It riles up loads of 14 year old girls and there’s no need for that, just talk to us.”

Tomlinson then appeared to acknowledge the interview on Twitter last night by tagging McGuiness’s profile with the message:

"So frustrating when people talk the talk in the press but when it comes down to it not a word is said face to face!"
