The Wanted: "One Direction started feud because they fancy us"

The Wanted have joked that their apparent feud with One Direction escalated because the 'Kiss You' stars fancy them.

The two British boybands have had something of a frosty relationship over the last few months, with it all coming to a head late last year in a Twitter spat.

Speaking to the Daily Star, The Wanted tried to lighten up the feud by suggesting that One Direction want to argue with them because they actually just want to flirt. Max George said:

"I think they fancy us really. It's just their way of flirting."

He continued: "It all started because we said they were like the Jonas Brothers. But we like the Jonas Brothers. We didn't mean it offensively."

Jay McGuiness meanwhile joked that their preferred method of fighting One Direction would be with an old fashioned "pub brawl". He said:

"It'd have to be a pub brawl, wouldn't it? And we wouldn't be doing any of that fancy fighting. It's not like we know kung fu or anything. We'd just do what boys do."
