The Wanted get mistaken for One Direction by MTV VMA interviewer

A video has emerged of The Wanted getting mistaken by a reporter for One Direction.

The ‘Glad You Came’ stars were on the red carpet at Thursday night’s MTV Video Music Awards when they were approached by an interviewer who thought they were their boyband rivals.

Instead of correcting her, the boys played along and posing as One Direction, cheekily went on to claim that The Wanted ‘are the coolest band in the world,’ that they want to do a collaboration with The Wanted and that The Wanted’s new single, ‘I Found You,’ was better than theirs.

Louis Tomlinson responded to the latter comment on Twitter last night, posting:

“I quote 'it's better than ours , ha much better'. Not sure ...”
