JLS - X Factor 2008

X Factor boyband JLS are said to have gotten into a heated row with Britain’s Got Talent act Signature.

The Sun reports that the row occurred over which act would support Michael Jackson at his upcoming performances in London’s O2 Arena.

JLS’s Aston Merrygold, 21, allegedly called Signature “has beens” and a “circus act” backstage at the X Factor tour.

“It was a pretty nasty row. Aston was shrieking,” said a source. “He really laid into Signature – who were even considering pulling out of the tour.

“Everyone got very heated in the end and Aston had to be taken away to calm down.”

Signature claimed to have met Jackson after his press conference last week.

“It was a dream come true to meet Michael in the way I did because it was so calm and exciting at the same time,” said Signature’s Suleman Mirza. “I am grateful to him and his security for allowing me so much freedom and access.

“I am looking forward to these types of occasions again – and of course cannot wait for the 8 July, 2009 where the Return Of The King will show us all why he is always going to be the master.”
