The Wanted's latest video for 'Lightning' is raunchy to say the least. We've seen it and even we were shocked - there's groping and licking and all sorts.

We had to ask the boys if the rumours that the video had the be toned down were true. "That is true," Tom confirmed.

Nathan explained: "Not on set, just in editing — we did what we wanted to do on set and they just pulled it back in the editing."

However, Max went on to reveal a secret - that Nathan got VERY friendly with the girl he was paired with on the video. Max told us: "Nathan was in a tent with a girl when we weren't filming. I could just see feet shaking!"

Tom agreed: "His feet were splayed out!"

Max teased: "She had him right where she wanted him!"

Oo-er, Nathan you saucy thing.

The Only Way is Essex has divided opinion ever since it launched last year. Boyband The Wanted are definitely anti the show.

Despite Tom revealing that he fancies Amy Childs, the boys told us that the don't think the show itself is any good. "It's a shockingly s*** show," Tom told us. "It's the worst thing I've ever seen."

That's that settled, then.

Justin Bieber is certainly a man in demand — but not just from his army of fans, the celebrities want a piece of him too!

The 17-year old star has already sung duets with a cool set of celebrities from Taylor Swift to Will Smith's son, Jaden and now none other than singing diva extraordinaire Mariah Carey wants in on the Bieber action.

While Justin told his Twitter followers that he will be collaborating with the Grammy-award-winning singer, Mariah went one step further and posted an extravagant video of her clad in jewels sharing the news.

The two globally-famed singers will recreate a rendition of Mariah's 'All I Want For Christmas Is You,' and will feature on Justin's festival album, 'Under The Mistletoe.'

Other highlights from the playlist include mixes from the singer's mentors such as Usher, Boyz II Men and Busta Rymes. *AMAZE*

There really is no stopping JB.

And fret not, you

With their latest singles smashing the charts, The Wanted can't wait to head off on tour after Christmas.

The arena tour is still very much in the planning stages, but we couldn't wait to find out if there's anything exciting in store."We're really excited," said Tom. "We're just putting plans together now."

Will it be anything like their theatre tour last year? Max seems to think not. "Our first tour was made like a show. It was almost like a theatre show. We had a storyline through the whole thing. I don't think we'll do that as such this time. I'd actually like to get in a full orchestra."

Tom's a fan on this idea. "That'd be cool." Nathan only has one aim: "We just don't want it to be cheesy."

Cheesy? With you boys involved, it'll never be that!

We knew that The Wanted were cheeky pranksters - they've already played tricks on Parad and their tour manager - but we hadn't realised quite how much they'd turned on each other!

When we met them today, Max revealed that he played a HUGE wind up on his band mate Tom Parker. Max told us: " I once rang Tom and told him I was leaving the band, and I kept it going for about 20 minutes. Tom was crying!"

Aw - we never knew Tom was so sensitive! Luckily, we managed to escape without the boys playing any pranks on us. Phew.

The Wanted, One Direction and JLS are our fave boybands of the moment. But with all three being so amazing and, er, fit, do The Wanted feel any rivallry?

It seems not. "I don't think there's any rivallry," Max George told us. "If we were all going head to head in the same week with singles, then yeah we'd want to beat them."

"That's the same with any artist," Nathan said. "We never look at the chart and think 'Oh, so and so's out - we'll settle for number two."

But would the boys like it if their single was released at the same time as the other lads? "I'd love it," said Max, showing off his competitive streak. "If we didn't get the number one we'd pretend there wasn't any rivalry."

"Yeah, we'd say we'd buy them a drink," Nathan laughed. "Or actually, no, they could buy US a drink because we lost!"

Well, fair's fair we suppose.

The X Factor has gripped the entire nation, and the boys from The Wanted are no exception.

"We've all been watching," Nathan told us.  "I really like Kelly, to be honest," Tom revealed. Max agree, saying: "She's very sincere. But she is very American."

"Yeah, you know those moments when you're crying," Nathan said, "and you feel that you need to wipe a tear? But Americans seem to just let it roll and roll just for that massive effect."

But who are the boys backing to win? Max is a big fan of Tulisa. "I'm backing her to win," he told us. "I'd like her to win, but I think the girls are the strongest category."

We're inclined to agree...but who knows what could happen on Saturday!?

The Wanted are well known for their cheeky pranks, so when we had an exclusive chat with them today we were intrigued to see which celebs have been their latest victims.

We weren't disappointed! Max told us: "We did Sainsbury's Super Saturday Festival, and we went round and defaced everyone's posters on their dressing rooms. The people who ran the gig took every single poster down from backstage."

The boys went to town on their altering of the posters. Tom explained, "We changed Nicola Roberts to 'Nicola Throb-erts,' Taio Cruz to 'Gay-o Cruz and Pixie Lott to 'Pixie Slot.'

Max then chipped in: "Don't forget, Parade was Poorade."

Wow, the boys are quite imagainitive. But what about pranks they've pulled on each other? Max explained: "I once rang Tom and told him I was leaving the band, and I kept it going for about 20 minutes. Tom was crying."

Oh, Tom, the shame. Luckily the boys didn't pull any pranks on
