The Stack It Up artist opens up about their feud in a new interview with Hits Radio Breakfast this week.

"When we were in the band it kind of felt like, because he was the oldest..."

"And because I’d been singing for quite a bit of time we both got put in a weird position."

Liam goes on, "He was wanting to be the leader, and I was doing my thing and wanted to."

"So, at first we didn't get on at all. We absolutely hated each other, it was so funny."

"Really bad. We hid it well."
