The Wanted: Nathan Sykes back on stage at Summertime Ball


Nathan Sykes sensationally returned to The Wanted on Sunday, rejoining the band to perform for the first time since undergoing career risking throat surgery.
The pop hunk caught up with Guilty Pleasures after storming the stage at Wembley Stadium during the Capital Summertime Ball.
‘It feels incredible,’ he said, explaining his excitement at being on the line-up. ‘It’s very lucky that I had this opportunity to perform at Wembley – as we do every summertime ball.’
‘I was nervous about returning but it’s a very special moment that I got to comeback. It’s great.’
Adding: ‘I was pretty petrified about singing too soon. I thought if it goes wrong, it goes terribly wrong, but if it goes well, it’s kind of a dream.’
However the 20-year-old revealed there were some high points to being off sick.

‘I’m going to miss my days of Jeremy Kyle and Playstation,’ he laughed.
Nathan’s bandmates are also glad to have him back on board after several appearances without him during his recovery.
‘It’s pretty awesome’ said 24-year-old Max George, adding: ‘It’s been over two months just as a four – so we can do a lot less now!’
Meanwhile, as the on-going feud with One Direction trundles on, Jay McGuiness, 22, has conceded that there may never be a way to bury the hatchet – as everyone will just jump on what they say.
‘I think every question we answer spurs it further,’ Jay said. ‘So I think silence – dignified silence like The Queen [is the only way]. Never deny and never confirm.’
Meanwhile fellow bandmates Tom Parker, 24, Siva Kaneswaran, 24, and Max are excited for the forthcoming single Walks Like Rihanna and have had some positive feedback from the lady herself.
‘We met her management in New York and they said she likes it,’ Tom revealed, adding: ‘Which is good. If she didn’t…’
‘We’re putting it out anyway!’ Max joked.
Fans of the Glad You Came hitmakers were so excited to have Nathan back in the group they were quick to have the hashtag ‘#NathanIsBack’ trending on Twitter.
One excited fan wrote: ‘I THANK GOD FOR ARE YOU BACK, I’M VERY excited, PROUD, OH MY GOD YOU BACK, I LOVE YOU VERY NATHAN #NathanIsBack
With another adding: ‘So happy that I got to see Nath come back. He looked so happy and proud to be back :’) #NathanIsBack

One Direction: Too busy to fight The Wanted


One Direction have refused to take on The Wanted in the boxing ring after their rivals threw down the gauntlet. The boyband said they were too busy to waste a day off settling old scores – and claimed their challengers had backed out of a fight before.
‘I already offered Max,’ revealed Zayn Malik when Guilty Pleasures grabbed him for a quick chat.
‘I asked him if he wants to fight. I’ve already said to him I’ll fight him and he didn’t want to.’
Louis Tomlinson added: ‘It is such b******* because they will not live up to their word.’ And Liam Payne claimed: ‘We’re all too busy anyway. When is this ever going to happen? We’d have to do it on a day off and that would be boring.’
The two bands have been feuding for months after Zayn tweeted that Max George had contracted a sexually transmitted disease. But the 1D lads claim they’re now getting tired of the exchanges. ‘I love an argument but it’s even got boring for me now,’ said Louis. ‘I mean… grow up.’

It seems a loving relationship between the groups may never come to fruition – even though they hit it off when they first crossed paths.
‘We met them on the X Factor and they were proper nice and we thought we really like you,’ said Zayn. ‘We looked up to them,’ Louis admitted.
Liam said he liked the idea of ending the row through music, with a battle-style duet. ‘Lets do one and call it The Homeboys Part II,’ he said. But Louis was more reluctant, saying: ‘I don’t think our musical styles would be suited. Our sound is quite different.’
One Direction are working on their third album, which the boys said will have a bigger, rockier sound.
They are currently on the road around the world on their Take Me Home tour.
