Brian McFadden: "One Direction fans are nuts"

Former Westlife star Brian McFadden thinks One Direction fans are "f**king nuts".

The Irish singer has appeared in the press recently talking about the 'Kiss You' stars. He predicted Niall Horan would be the first to leave the band and admitted that he felt sorry for Zayn Malik after it was revealed in the media that he reportedly cheated on girlfriend Perrie Edwards.

McFadden received death threats from One Direction fans after making the comments, and has joked in an interview with British newspaper The Mirror: "And I wouldn't wanna f*ck with their fans. I was asked who I thought would be the first to leave 1D on the radio - I didn't know but they said to pick one, so I said Niall because I'm Irish, he's Irish, and he has that glint in his eye.

He added: "Then I get these Twitter comments from nut jobs like, 'Go f**king kill yourself'. I'm like 'Calm down'. They're f**king nuts."

McFadden insists things were poles apart in Westlife's heydey.

He explained: "It's different now because of Twitter - you can see how crazy people are. I was talking to Tom Jones - do you like that name drop? - back in 2003 and he was saying he felt sorry for us. Back in his day, they would get up to so much mischief, but it was never talked about.

He added: "And it's worse now, you can do nothing - I went to the toilet in a nightclub and someone tweeted 'In the toilets and Brian McFadden has just walked in and he's doing a number two'. I was like, 'You can't even sh*t in peace now without people going f**king crazy'."
