WATCH - Union J: 'We're Not Like One Direction'

Boys claim the comparison with the 1D boys is a 'big responsibility'

Ever since they auditioned, it's fair to say that Union J have continuously been compared to X Factor alumni and supergroup One Direction.

But the boys have insisted that they are not like Harry Styles, Zayn Malik, Niall Horan, Louis Tomlinson and Liam Payne.

Talking about the comparisons with the 'Live While We're Young' hitmakers, Josh told Entertainmentwise's Georgie Barrat: "It's quite a big responsibility we have to take on. Now we've been compared to them, if we don't get anywhere near that success, then we're just going to feel stupid."

Picking up on the reasons why they are being compared to the 1D lads, Josh continued:

"We're not really like them. I think it's just because we're a boyband and we've done X Factor and we've almost been put together by the X Factor. I think that's the only thing."

Harry Styles look-a-like George also confirmed that the star had been in touch with him, advising him not to cut his hair.

He said: "Harry text me saying, 'don't cut your hair, it looks wicked. Just keep it the same and don't let them change it."
