The Wanted -- (from l.) Tom Parker, Max George, Siva Kaneswaran, Jay McGuiness and Nathan Sykes -- tour the Empire State Building April 24.
Oops, they did it again.
In an apparent effort to burn every bridge in the music industry, The Wanted moved on from sniping at "The Voice" judge Christina Aguilera to slamming Britney Spears.
The British-Irish boy band gossiped about their time as an opening act for Spears during her recent tour in an interview with New York's Fresh 102.7 radio.

The Wanted bandmember Siva Kaneswaran told the station that a member of the pop diva's security detail approached him and the band's tour manager in a hallway and demanded that they avert their eyes when Spears walked by.
"We faced the wall for about 10 seconds until she got really far away," Kaneswaran told the station.
The comments come just a few days after The Wanted called Christina Aguilera a "total b---" during an interview with another New York radio station, 92.3 NOW FM.
"She's a bit scary, to be honest," band member Max George told host Sarah Lee, after being asked why he didn't hop offstage to give Aguilera a kiss as he did to Jennifer Lopez when The Wanted performed on "American Idol."
"She's a total b-," Tom Parker, another bandmember added. "She might not be a b- in real life, but to us, she was a b-. She just sat there and didn't speak to us. Wouldn't even look at us."
Spears' rep notices a pattern.
"What's even more interesting than the false allegations they made up is the fact that they have claimed to be picked on by two female pop stars in just a few days," the rep said in a statement to US Weekly. "Look out Lady Gaga - there are still three days left this week."
