Jimmy Bullard and Naughty Boy clash over One Direction

Ex-footballer Jimmy Bullard and music producer Naughty Boy have become involved a heated row over One Direction star Louis Tomlinson.

Naughty Boy and Tomlinson recently became embroiled in a war of words over former One Direction singer Zayn Malik.

And on tonight's Celebrity Juice, Bullard says he is a friend of Tomlinson and claims the singer "don't f***ing like him", referring to Naughty Boy - real name Shahid Khan.

When asked about the spat, Naughty Boy told host Keith Lemon: "Talking about it is obviously not my problem, the problem is that something doesn't deserve the attention, someone like Louis is not in my radar of anything....Zayn left for his own personal reasons and one day people will know everything, right now's not the time."

He went on to say that Malik is "one of my best friends", adding that the singer is now in a "great place".

Bullard hit back at the producer, saying: "And guess who my friend is? Louis. I'm going to call him... You're lucky, he's asleep. Seriously he had a lot to tell me and he don't f***ing like him (Naughty Boy)."

When they both began slating each other's outfits during the row, presenter Lemon sent Bullard into a corner to calm down before his team captain Holly Willoughby made him apologise to Naughty Boy.
