The Veronicas have claimed that they can challenge Kylie Minogue in the gay icon stakes.

The Aussie pop duo's new single 'Untouched' has already been described as a gay anthem ahead of its UK release next week.

Band member Jess Origliasso told the Daily Star: "It's really flattering, especially in Australia where Kylie was the gay icon - she's got to move over a little bit.

"We love her but she has got a very different, elaborate show compared to us. We are a cross between Kylie and Pink. Pink is such a strong woman and someone who I think has brought feminism around in the right way."

The pair release their second album Hook Me Up in the UK on June 8.
