The Wanted's Nathan Sykes updates fans on US adventure

The Wanted's Nathan Sykes has updated fans on the band's recent happenings in America.

In a special 4Music blog posted today (April 20), Sykes spoke about the band's growing success in the US, which has seen the quintet perform on American Idol.

He took time to highlight his admiration for Idol judge Jennifer Lopez, who they met backstage and also at an after party. He said:

"We performed in Las Vegas at Spring Break, on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno and of course American Idol, which was an experience. Meeting Steven Tyler and Randy Jackson was cool but my favourite judge has to be Jennifer Lopez. She was just so lovely. We were invited to a party she was throwing that night so we all went along. She came and sat with us, just chatting away for ages. So not only is she beautiful she’s lovely with it!"

Sykes also spoke about his 19th birthday party - which saw the lads head to the Playboy Mansion. He said:

"I also turned the grand old age of 19 on Wednesday and had an extended birthday because of the time difference. And what a birthday it was. We did The Voice during the day and then the boys threw me a surprise party at the Playboy Mansion and we met the ultimate playboy Hugh Heffner. It was surreal to say the least but we had a great night."
