Kaiser Chiefs: 'We had a lovely day with Girls Aloud'

Kaiser Chiefs frontman Ricky Wilson has said that his band had a "lovely day" with Girls Aloud when they performed a duet together in 2008.

The singer had previously suggested that the group were "threatened" when they tried to withdraw from the planned collaboration for ITV special The Girls Aloud Party.

Asked if the band felt pressure to say yes to different projects, Wilson told Digital Spy: "We get offered things all the time, and then you turn loads of things down.

"Sometimes you turn things down and then someone else does it and you think, 'You know, that was quite cool'. The only problem about turning things down to be cool is that no-one ever knows you turned it down because you're not really allowed to say!"

He quipped: "There would be some very unhappy people at television companies if you go round saying 'Girls Aloud asked us to be on their Christmas special and we didn't want to f**king do it'.

"Looking back, we went on the Girls Aloud Christmas special and did a song with them, it sounds so funny and we had a lovely day.

"I think [songwriter] Nick [Hodgson] was just trying to think of an example because he was asked, 'Is there anything you regret?' and that was just something that popped into his head... nobody died!"
