The Wanted singer Jay McGuiness has quipped that being named in their newest song title is probably the "pinnacle of [Rihanna's] career".

The chart-topping band's 'Walks Like Rihanna' is a nod to the international superstar's charm and beauty.

McGuiness has joked that the singer is probably thrilled with the acknowledgment, telling the US edition of OK! magazine: "She's worked for that song, this is the pinnacle of her career!"

The Wanted also comprises Siva Kaneswaran, Max George, Tom Parker and Nathan Sykes  -who is currently recovering from surgery on his vocal cords.

George added that Rihanna is one of his "dream girls".

He gushed: "She's up there. She's got to be up there. She's gorgeous. And she's just a huge star now, so [the song is] a tribute to Rihanna."

The Wanted are currently in the US promoting their new E! reality TV show 'The Wanted Life.' They were filmed as they recorded their third album in LA and loved living it up in a house together.

When asked which other boyband member they would pick to join them in their abode if they had the chance, McGuiness chimed: "A.J from Backstreet Boys."

When his decision was challenged by band member Kaneswaran, explaining that he wouldn't "because he's sober", McGuiness retorted: "So, you don't judge a man on how much he drinks! I certainly don't!"

George revealed he'd like Justin Timberlake to join them.
