Ting Tings lead singer Katie White has claimed that she turned down the chance to appear in FHM magazine.

The vocalist said that she snubbed an offer from the men's publication made via her former label Mercury Records when she was in the band Dear Eskimo.

White told Gigwise "In our last band we were at Mercury and in the first ever meeting they brought that up. I was literally like f*** off! It's the last thing on Earth I would do."

She also revealed that the hotly tipped indie band were planning to perform all the major UK festivals in the summer.
