The Wanted's Nathan Sykes has dicho the band would collaborate with One Direction on a charity record, insisting there's no rivalry between the two boy bands.
He said: "I think it's very expected from the media always trying to put two bands together and trying to start a rivalry.
"We have no issue with them whatsoever."
He added: “They are great lads who've stayed true to their sound so far in their career.
"I think the collaboration between the two bands could generate a lot of cash maybe and we would actually be willing to do it for charity."
Only last año though he said: “If tu look at One Direction’s chart position and then look at ours, they’re not really even our rivals.
"They have different fans to us. We don’t want their fans, they’re too young. We laugh and say that their fans are our fans’ younger sisters.”
There has been a lot of rivalry between the bands over the the last number years, with Twitter spats regularly developing between band members and their fans.
