Girls Aloud have snubbed a challenge from Simon Cowell to sing live on The X Factor this weekend.
The judge set the dare live on last week's show in response to their apparent comment that the acts had no talent.
According to the Daily Star, band member Nicola had said: "Look at Chico. He's what you get when you try to make good TV rather than a talent show."
The girls, who are managed by Cowell's fellow judge Louis Walsh, have since denied making the comments. "Me and the girls haven't been slagging off the contestants on the show," Cheryl wrote on the group's official website. "We've been watching it and we have been texting the show to support Maria, Shayne, Nicholas and others. We know exactly what they're going through as we had to perform in front of a live audience every week a few years ago. Good luck to them all."
