Ting Tings admit on-stage bust-ups

The Ting Tings have revealed that they sometimes fight on stage during a gig.

The duo, who are gearing up for the release of their second studio album, admit that they have been known to vent their frustration with each other during a performance of their breakthrough hit 'That's Not My Name'.

"There have been times where I have been singing 'That's Not My Name', then midway through I've turned around mid-song and hurled a load of abuse at Jules then carried on singing," singer Katie White told Bang Showbiz.

Jules De Martino added: "I think the worst thing with it being just the two of us is if we fall out then, well, we stay angry.

"It's not like there's four members where somebody can act as the go-between, so we're very aware that if the two of us hit a brick wall about decision making or something else, then we have to be careful that it doesn't get out of control and we can't do a gig that night because of the row."

Martino also joked that they often blame their tour crew to diffuse growing tensions between them.

He explained: "That's when our crew become really important, because the crew kind of act as band members in that sort of situation when the tension is high and we're starting to fall out - they step in and then we blame them instead."
