Matt Willis says Charlie Simpson is a bastard

Former Busted star Matt Willis has criticised ex-bandmate Charlie Simpson over his comments about the band, according to The Mirror, ahead of Willis's solo single on 22 May.

If The Mirror is to be believed, former Busted star Matt Willis has had a go at ex-bandmate Charlie Simpson over derisory comments Simpson has apparently made in recent interviews.

According to the tabloid Willis says: "I refused to say anything bad when we split but then I read lots of interviews by Charlie slagging off the band - it really pisses me off. I thought: 'What a bastard'. We were in the band for five years, and it's insulting to our fans who spent money following us around, buying our music and voting for us to win awards. It's out of order".

He added: "I haven't got anything against his new band but it wouldn't have happened if it hadn't been for us."

Willis is, as previously reported, all set to start a solo career - his debut single 'Up All Night', is out on 22 May.
