'X Factor' contestants Union J have admitted that they would love to collaborate with another well-known UK boyband, but they also want to try and help The Wanted resolve their feud with One Direction.

During a recent interview with Star magazine, the group's Josh Cuthbert revealed that they hope to duet with the 'Little Things' hitmakers in the future: "We could do something with One Direction - it would be massive, there would be so many of us on stage."

Jaymi Hensley added that in order for a working partnership to actually happen, it would be useful to mend the broken relationship between the two popular bands because there should be a sense of unity in the industry and not one of tension:

"We're hoping we could bring One Direction and The Wanted together and get them to make friends again. We'll stand in the middle so they don't have a scrap. We've lost JLS... us boybands have to stick together. We need love and lots of hugs - not fighting."
