B*Witched reveal bitter rivalry with boyband Five who were 'really horrible' to them

Classic 90s pop group B*Witched claim mean boyband Five were “really horrible" to them - but say Beyonce was a fan.

The group, made up of twin sisters Edele and Keavy Lynch, Lindsay Armaou and Sinéad O'Carroll, have been chatting about their heyday.

It seems just like every artist in that era, there was a rivalry too.

Edele has spilled on their war with Five, with Ritchie Neville, Scott Robinson and Sean Conlon, J Brown and Abz Love terrorising the girls.

Chatting on Vicky Pattison's The Secret To podcast, she says the lads would leave them covered in beer after performing at the same events.

Edele said: “They [Five] used to be really horrible to us.

“Like we'd be in like dressing rooms next door and they throw their beer over - like the bottles and everything!”

But it seems someone loved them - superstar Beyonce.

She went on: “We had so many opportunities [to party] . So, you know, you're at the Brits. We’re touring with NSYNC and Britney.

“We were in the Met bar one night with Will Smith, and you're just kind of chilling, having a couple of drinks.

“Then we say “Yeah, we gotta go. We're up at like 4am tomorrow. So nice to see you! Take care”

They probably regretted not staying out one night.

“One time when we got on really well with Destiny's Child and I remember Beyonce going like, “Oh my god, girls! Oh my god, you're here! It's just amazing.

"We haven't seen you for ages. Right, let's go out tonight. This is where we're staying…”, and we were like, “We can't we're flying to Vegas in the morning”.

It has been a quarter of a century since they released their hit song C'est La Vie and they are still performing today.

Fame was tough for the group initially, especially as they became so well known so quickly.

They appeared on This Morning last month to promote their new single, Birthday.

Lindsay explained: "Everything changed so fast. We were catapulted into working 16-hour days, and we were so young to be thrown into all that fame.

"Suddenly realising that everyone knows your face. I struggled with all the attention.

"When I saw girl fans sleeping overnight at an airport waiting to see us, who were 14, 15 years old, I couldn’t get my head round that."
