Tom Parker has given The Wanted’s 2013 hit Walks Like Rihanna a massive thumbs down.
The single hit the Top 5 in the UK and earned the approval of the pop superstar herself, but according to Tom the track is “the f**king worst song ever”.
He insisted: “That song just should not exist. Go in the bin forever. It’s the f**king worst song ever.”
However, not all of the group agreed; bandmate Siva Kaneswaran said the track is ” a good song if you’re 15,” while Nathan Sykes insisted: “Without being hateful, it is a fan favourite, it’s part of our history – and Rihanna liked it!”
Speaking with BANG Showbiz at the ‘Inside My Head’ Stand Up to Cancer charity concert, Jay McGuiness added: “She was very flattered, which is nice.”
The boy band reunited earlier this month and announced their new best-of collection ‘Most Wanted – The Greatest Hits’, featuring all their singles plus new recordings.
They’re set to hit the road with a mega 12-date UK arena tour early 2022 in support of the collection. Tickets are on sale now.
‘Most Wanted – The Greatest Hits’, out November 12, is available to pre-order on CD and Cassette.
