The Vamps have admitted that they often receive 'disgustingly' kinky messages from fans.

The young British boyband are very popular with their legions of admirers but it seems some devotees go a little too far when communicating with the group.

Speaking to We Love Pop, James McVey said that some fans channel the S&M inspired Fifty Shades of Grey book when speaking to the band. He said:

"We love all our fans but sometimes they write pretty disgusting stuff. I don't know how the other guys feel, but I like self-respect and you get some people and I'm like, 'How do you even think of that stuff?!'. It's like Fifty Shades of Grey."

The quote ties in with McVey's recent plea for his young fans to stop sending him and the band indecent images of themselves online.

He said: "Really love twitter but these pictures dm's can really get us in serious trouble. Please don't send any of us indecent pictures."

McVey continued: "And it's seriously, it is illegal. We don't want to have to unfollow people sending these :(."
