Top 10 Fan Wars: from Doctor Who to Twilight to Star Wars vs Star Trek

7. One Direction/The Wanted

Right, we’re a bit out of our depth here, so let’s tread carefully. One Direction, the tiny warlocks who own the soul of every child in the western world, had a long-running Twitter feud with mere boyband The Wanted. At one point, Zayn from 1D called Max from The Wanted ‘chlamydia boy’, while Max boasted that a fight between the two ‘wouldn’t last long’.

As you would expect from boyband fans, their followers reacted rationally and with good humour.
