Busted boy band member Matt Willis may have just got himself placed firmly in the doghouse after slamming reality TV bands - forgetting his wife, Emma, presents a show purporting to find just that. The 34-year-old singer vented his frustration on Twitter and called the manufactured bands ‘tv based bullshit icon’s requesting that more ‘rock stars’ come out from the woodwork.

However, the star’s wife of almost a decade and mother-of three presents The Voice UK - a reality show that aims to find bands and artists through auditions and various knockout stages.

Matt, 34, ignored this fact and continued his tirade on social media, saying: "Calling all new young bands... Save our kids from the tv based bullshit icons! We need rock stars again!"

Many of his fans agreed with his stand point and tweeted in support of the star who has been part of the Busted - on and off - since 2001.
