What with all the sassy boyband banter goin' down between The Wanted and One Direction this year, we've been waiting for the lads of pop to take off their gloves, remove every item of clothing and NAKED HUG IT OUT. So obviously we're well happy that the Union J fellas have been gushing all over (not literally, unfortunately) their peers - claiming that 1D are their biggest inspiration.
Yup - while everybody else seems to have been getting all confro and contro in 2013, George and co. reckon there's enough room on planet pop for loads of fit fellas. N'yaww.
Chatting to the Daily Star, former X Factor boyo Jaymi Hensley said: "Without them we wouldn’t be here. They are who you look up to," with JJ Hamblett adding "We’d love to be at the BRITs and win an award and for One Direction to win one at the same time. That’s our dream."
