Girls Aloud have hit out at reality TV show The X Factor.
The group, formed in 2002 from fellow TV talent show Popstars: The Rivals (http://g.msn.co.uk/1ETGBEN0/124980.4?http://search.msn.co.uk/results.aspx?FORM=SRHBDY&q=The Rivals&&HL=keywordInt), criticised The X Factor's singers as second rate.
Nicola Roberts, 20, said: "I don't think the talent is that good this time round.
"I mean, look at Chico - what is that?
"That's what you get when you try and make good TV rather than a talent show," she told OK! magazine.
