Charlotte Church slams Girls Aloud

Charlotte Church has hit back at Cheryl Tweedy for accusing her of copying Girls Aloud.

In July, Tweedy claimed that Charlotte Church's first foray into the pop market was a 'carbon copy' of the first Girls Aloud album. A source told The Sun: "She says Charlotte has no originality and reckons she is trying to copy the image that made them a chart success."

However, Church has now hit back at Tweedy, saying that her band would not be able to pull off the material that Church has. In a webchat with The Sun she explained: "Girls Aloud wouldn't be able to sing 'Crazy Chick' if they possibly tried. They just don't have the range darling.

"And when they've sold as many records as me, then they can comment. Maybe Cheryl is bitter.

"Actually I don't mind the rest of them. I've met Nadine and Kimberly a few times and they're nice. But Cheryl can go and take a running jump!"

Yesterday it was reported that Charlotte's grandmother has warned her to stop criticising her fellow celebrities.
