Catfish and the Bottlemen on 1D: 'Everything they do is preconceived and controlled'

Catfish and the Bottlemen star Van McCann has blasted One Direction.

The singer told The Sun that the group - who came third on the X Factor in 2010 - have eased their way to success.

He added that he feels the boyband's actions are "controlled", with their whole aura "live pantomime".

McCann said: "You lot won a competition! I've sat in a band of seven years while you queued up outside Manchester Arena then did a bit of disco to a man behind a table who then put a few dollar bills down your jacket."

He added: "Everything they do is preconceived and controlled. It's live pantomime."
