After recently calling Christina Aguilera 'a total b*tch' in a recent interview, UK boyband The Wanted have spoken out about a backstage encounter with her longtime pop rival, Britney Spears.
The boyband opened for Britney at her Manchester show in November 2011, and reveal that they were forced to face a wall when the singer walked past.
“We signed a confidentiality thing that we should never say anything about what happened, but let’s tell it anyway,” said group member Tom Parker.
Bandmate Siva Kaneswaran added: "I was in the hallway with me tour manager. Basically we were looking with a laptop, trying to get wifi…facing the middle of the hallway. Bouncers came down with her and told us to face the wall."
"As Miss Spears is walking through, we’re like come on!" Tom said.
"We turned around and I faced a wall for about 10 seconds until she got really far away," Siva continued.
However, before the boyband said too much about Britney, bandmate Jay McGuinness had words of praise for Spears, saying: "But honestly when we actually met her person to person, she was so down to earth. You can tell she’s a total southern girl and Nathan, when he was a kid, won a singing competition. She was one of the judges or something. And she gave him a kiss, it was one of his first kisses as a kid. So he got to meet her again and support her."
