: "She's obviously gone to her PR, go and get me Bleuuughh. We were the new band out, so they must have thought, Ah, she meant Blue."

Blur's Alex James had words with him about it when they met years later.

"The mad thing was I meant Alex James years later and he was mucking about and was like 'Oi you. You took or tickets!'

I was like 'Mate, I didn't know.' "

Blur were out a few years before Blue and became household names with their cult classic tracks Girls & Boys and Parklife.

Meanwhile Anthony has revealed that he and bandmates Duncan James, Simon Webbe and Lee Ryan will be toning down their routines because they’re 'too old' to pull them off.

The best pals are due to go on the road for their 20th anniversary.

Antony told The Sun: "Prior to the pandemic we were still doing the odd gig here and there so we still know all the dance moves.

"There won’t be any back-flips involved though. You don’t want to see greying 40-year-old men trying to be 20-year-olds.

"When we did gigs in the past we said, ‘Boys, let’s not do the dad dance or Uncle K***head at a wedding’.

When we were younger we were always looking at people like The Temptations. What they did was slick and it was great."
