POP group Busted have taken a swipe at their longtime rivals once again after confessing that "nobody remembers them anymore".
The boy band were famously in competition with their rivals McFly when they both battled for chart domination in the early noughties.
However, it seemed that they had put their bubbling feud to one side when they combined to create supergroup McBusted in 2013.
Having split just two years later, Busted member Charlie Simpson confessed that there is still an "absolute rivalry" between the bands ten years on despite their brief grouping together.
The music icons were chatting to The Sun exclusively before gearing up to perform on stage at the O2 Arena for the Jingle Bell Ball concert.
Addressing the competition between the rivals, Charlie said: "It’s not sneaky, it’s an absolute rivalry."

James Bourne added: "There’s no competition anymore, we’re the clear cut favourites!"
He then took a brutal swipe at the band, saying: "No-one remembers them anymore.
"Whenever people used to come up to me and say, ‘Oh, wait, like I like you. But you know, I also like, McFly’. Now they just go, ‘I'm so glad you're back’.
"They don’t say anything about them."

Matt Willis then jumped in to reference McFly frontman Tom Fletcher as he quipped: "Yeah [they say] ‘we like you and we like Tom's band’. You know, the rest of those guys."
Busted reunited earlier this year once again for an epic arena tour to celebrate their 20th anniversary as a band.
They also achieved a number one album in September with a brand new updated version of their greatest hits collection.
Busted linked up with a variety of their favourite artists for a re-imagining of their biggest hits including James Arthur, Jonas Brothers and The Vamps.
