X Factor: Westlife get JLS kicked off their afterparty table
By Clemmie Moodie; Sarah Tetteh
It was billed as the Battle of the Boybands – but did those involved have to take it quite so literally? Take That, Westlife and JLS all performed during the X Factor’s results show on Sunday night.
And if there was any laddish rivalry onstage it was nothing compared with the open hostilities that broke out between Westlife and JLS during the afterparty at London’s Whisky Mist.
Both bands have singles out this week, and both seemed desperate to out-party one another. The stage was set for a rumble.
JLS had tried to nab the Mayfair club’s best table by dashing straight there from the studio. But they were foiled by the forward-thinking Irish foursome, who had pre-booked the premier spot – and had JLS unceremoniously booted off it.
An amused onlooker tells me: “JLS went straight for the private booth Prince Harry always requests as it’s the best spot in the club. But they were kicked off because it had been reserved for Westlife. They couldn’t believe it!”
But jokers JLS – whose single Love You More is up against Westlife’s newie Safe this week – had the last laugh, with some help from the oddly attired waiters.
My source adds: “The guys bringing drinks were dressed as Red Bull racing drivers with helmets, which Aston and Marvin thought was hilarious. (You probably had to be there…) a “They ordered three bottles of £500-a-pop Armand de Brignac champagne and sent one to The Wanted and one over to Westlife with the driver, so it looked as if they were going to have it sprayed all over them. Kian found it funny and raised a glass to them.”
JLS were the big winners with the ladies – well, sensible Westlife had turned up with their wives. Girls flocked over to enjoy JLS’s company and their Grey Goose vodka (in total, the boybands racked up a £5,000 bar bill).
But one girl stayed well away – Frankie Sandford, whose Saturdays bandmate Rochelle has just split up with Marvin. I’m told: “Frankie steered clear of JLS and stuck to a different VIP room.”
