The Wanted's Nathan Sykes has said the band would collaborate with One Direction on a charity record, insisting there's no rivalry between the two boy bands.
He said: "I think it's very expected from the media always trying to put two bands together and trying to start a rivalry.
"We have no issue with them whatsoever."
He added: “They are great lads who've stayed true to their sound so far in their career.
"I think the collaboration between the two bands could generate a lot of cash maybe and we would actually be willing to do it for charity."
Only last year though he said: “If you look at One Direction’s chart position and then look at ours, they’re not really even our rivals.
"They have different fans to us. We don’t want their fans, they’re too young. We laugh and say that their fans are our fans’ younger sisters.”
There has been a lot of rivalry between the bands over the the last number years, with Twitter spats regularly developing between band members and their fans.

Don't you just want to make everyone disappear so you can be left with One Direction? Have you ever wondered, "why am I so crazy about them!?!?" Well I know!
Many other famous people try SO hard for people to fall inlove with them- One direction doesn't.
One direction comes as they are. They come in their own styles- and they wish for us to be ourselves!
Here's how I became a HUGE directioner: I listened to their songs, I read books about them, and an app I downloaded on my iphone5 was… a date One Direction app. On the date one direction app you pick a member and you start out as friends, in one day you become their girlfriend, and then couple, always (etc.)
I became obsessed because in that app- each member told me what they love, and all about them- so I fell back on my bed screaming I LOVE THEM.
All directioners are different- they are crazy, some are mature, wild, calm, loud, quiet, normal, stylish, black, white, etc.
