The less-popular boyband are currently promoting their new E! reality show and have spent most interviews being probed by US reporters about their running rivalry with 1D.
So nobody would be surprised to see this cheeky picture doing the rounds on Twitter today.
The Wanted boys – minus youngest member Nathan Sykes who is recovering from throat surgery – posed next to a framed picture of the former X Factor stars.
Not content with a sarcastic smile or ironic love hearts; Max George decides to stick his middle fingers up for One Direction while Tom Parker clenches a mean fist.
Critics slammed the boyband’s new show saying they are only interested in boozing, birds and when possible combining the two. Which is probably the least surprising assessment of anyone ever.
They might want to consider dropping the bitchy fight with One Direction as it’s actually becoming quite boring.
Meanwhile One Direction are going to be heading to America for the final leg of their Take Me Home tour. They have recently announced a 2014 world stadium tour including two sold-out shows at Wembley Stadium. Add to this a movie and you've got a pretty hectic schedule for a bunch of kids.
