The winning boyband on Popstars: The Rivals, One True Voice, have reportedly sacked their manager Pete Waterman.
Pete, who helped put the band together on the ITV show last year, described their decision as madness.
"I've produced their music for six months for free and now they're demanding a new manager," he said. "It's madness."
Last week band member Jamie Shaw, 18, said that they wanted to work with younger people.
"Pete's a great guy but we want to work with different producers and young people," he told The Mirror. "We don't want to work with old people all the time."
He also blasted the group's second single, 'Shakespeare's Way With Words', due out tomorrow.
"The new song was written by Rick Astley and it was a grower on me," he added. "But when I heard the first mix I wasn't sure. I thought 'Oh, I don't think so'. I'm a music fan but there's only certain music that I'd buy. This single's catchy but I might not have bought it if I wasn't on it.
"The line about 'In my heart I'm a poet, don't know how to show it' is cheesy - but it's not my line to sing so it's not my fault."
Meanwhile, their rivals on the show -- Louis Walsh's Girls Aloud -- are set to debut at number 2 in the album charts today.
