The Ting Tings have slammed a former friend for selling rare copies of their number one single 'That's Not My Name'.

The group pressed the single onto vinyl last year and are upset that copies are being sold online for £60 each.

Writing on their website, the Ting Tings said that fans were being taken advantage of: "Unfortunately, when we put out our first vinyl copies of 'That's Not My Name' with a friend last year for kicks, she kept some back and is now trying to sell them to you guys for £60 apiece. This is nothing to do with us.

"We would never charge that money for our singles. Cashing in is shocking. We pressed up 500 copies which we put on our credit card because we had no money."
