Donny Tourette hits out at Arctic Monkeys
Towers of London frontman Donny Tourette has launched a scathing attack on the Arctic Monkeys.

The singer labelled them as "drab" and "manufactured wannabes" and said that they were almost as bad as his housemates on Celebrity Big Brother.

Describing the Monkeys to The Mirror, he said "There's no one I despise more, apart from Jo O'Meara and H from Steps. I'm not down with the Monkeys. They're up their own arse.

"Their songs are full of old man lyrics and they make out they write their own songs but they have loads of help...They slag off bands like Take That but at least Gary Barlow writes all his songs.

"They have no sense of humour, they take themselves too seriously. They're drab, man."
