The Kooks frontman Luke Pritchard has said that he “really hates” The Fratellis new single, ‘Mistress Mabel’.

Although Pritchard said he thought the Fratellis were a good band he admitted to feeling “really miffed” by the band’s new song.

Speaking to the BBC, Pritchard also spoke about the Kooks' upcoming appearance at Radio 1’s One Big Weekend in Kent.

As previously reported, the band are scheduled to co-headline the event this weekend alongside Madonna.

“To be honest I would have kind of liked to see her so I was pretty annoyed,” Pritchard said about the line up, which sees them close the event on Sunday.

“It would have been better if we were on before her,” he added.
