Nash: Lads' mags are 'porn in disguise'

Kate Nash has branded lads' mags 'porn in disguise', adding that men should be ashamed to buy them.

The 'Foundations' singer was talking about feminism when she compared magazines like Zoo and FHM to top-shelf material.

"I think lads mags are a bit gross because they're basically just porn magazines but business men are allowed to buy them and read them on the train and not be embarrassed. But they're essentially the same thing," she told Metro.

The 21-year-old went on to discuss the negative portrayal of feminism in the past, saying: "I think feminism has become a bit of a dirty word and people are scared of using it because it seems like they hate men or they're a lesbian. But when I speak to a lot of girls they've come across sexism in their life.

"It's just about being equal, so I think it's important to talk about."

Nash recently dismissed speculation that there is tension between herself and other female singers.
