BUSTEDβS Matt Willis took a brutal swipe at McFlyβs Dougie Poynter during their huge battle of the bands tour.
The two pop-rock giants havenβt been content to let their music do the talking on the massive arena run, instead throwing in plenty of playground insults too.
While the bands might have built a fanbase from loyal youngsters, their banter live on stage is definitely more adult.
The two bassists took it in turns to roast each other atΒ Londonβs O2 arena.
Matt then brought up Dougieβs past romance withΒ Ellie Goulding.
He said: βYou know the hit song Burn by Ellie Goulding?β
Before making a sickening joke about sexually transmitted diseases.
Dougie laughed it off, before getting his own back by taking aim at Mattβs On The Mend podcast.
He said: βWhatβs the difference between Mattβs podcast and tonightβs show? Tonight thereβs actually people listening.β
Dougie finished by accusing Matt of βmimingβ the bass guitar, a dagger through the heart of any serious musician.

Iβm A Celeb favourite Dougie dated Ellie on-and-off for a couple of years before their 2016 split.
They remained on good terms andΒ Dougie was even invited to Ellieβs weddingΒ to art dealer Caspar Jopling in 2019, but he declined as he didnβt think it was right to watch his former flame say βI doβ.
Speaking to The Sun at the time, Dougie explained: βI did [get an invite] but I didnβt really think it was appropriate.
βBut yeah we are totally on good terms.β
Ellie, 38, divorced Caspar last year and is now dating actor Beau Minniear, 28.
Dougie, 37, has reportedly been withΒ actressΒ Yasmeen Scott since 2023, following a relationship with model Maddy Elmer.
