JLS have revealed they plan to go one better than One Direction and The Wanted by taking over the world.

The ‘Beat Again’ chart-toppers, who release this year’s official Sport Relief single, ‘Proud,’ on March 19, told the Daily Mirror that they are full of admiration for their fellow UK boybands’ success in the States.

Marvin said: “It’s fantastic what The Wanted and One Direction have achieved. It’s amazing and The Wanted have had an incredible hit single over there.”

But the 26-year-old heart-throb, who recently rubbished claims that his wedding with The Saturdays’ Rochelle is to be postponed, revealed that the band have set their sights even higher:

“For us it’s not just about America, it’s about reaching out everywhere, internationally.

“America’s obviously one of the biggest markets but we wanna go to Japan, Australia, Europe, everywhere around the world. We’re working on that and hopefully this year after our arena tour we’ve got coming up next week for two months, we’re gonna get out to other places in the world to spread the JLS music around.”
