JLS have opened up on one the pitfalls of being a dashingly attractive boyband - having underwear thrown at them on stage.

In an interview with Heat magazine, the former X Factor contestants said that they often get the under garments thrown at them by giddy females whilst they perform.

However, they revealed that sometimes their fans go one further, with the boys adding that they have had to sign dirty underwear before.

Oritse Williams said: "Sometimes, we get panties thrown on stage. I wonder how they take them off. You can see them take them off and you're all ready to dodge them."

JB Gill added: "We've even had to sign underwear before. Dirty underwear!"

Aston Merrygold meanwhile added his views, continuing: "They run to the toilet, take it off, come back."

JLS meanwhile had recently gone on record to question the behaviour of their older fans - claiming that they are often overzealous at signing sessions.
