Super-group McBusted claim their new name was the best of a bad bunch and they are embracing how terrible it is.

McBusted are proud of their "s**t" band name.

The McFly and Busted boys, who have teamed up for a UK tour next year, struggled to come up with an imaginative name for their super-group and have been forced to embrace how terrible their new moniker is.

Speaking at the Cosmopolitan Ultimate Women of the Year Awards 2013 presented by Vauxhall Adam on Thursday night (06.12.13), Matt Willis joked: "We'd gone through regretting it, and now we embrace it. We think actually, it's so s**t, we quite like it! There was a really s**t list of names, and this was the only possible one. It was the best of a really bad bunch."

Tom Fletcher added: "Bustfly, they were all on there. I challenge anyone to work out a better one!"

All the McFly boys - Tom, Danny Jones, Dougie Poynter and Harry Judd - will take part, while Matt and James Bourne will represent Busted minus original lead singer Charlie Simpson.

The pop favourites claim the transition has been very natural because they have all been friends for years.

Tom explained to BANG Showbiz: "What's awesome about us is that we started off as bands that had a real genuine relationship. We were around at the same time so we've basically been in each others' bands for ten years anyway."

Matt chimed in: "We went on the road with each other loads, we were around when McFly started. It's been a really easy transition."

"We've always written songs on tour. And we have a really lengthy tour, so hopefully! We only intended to release nine dates. And we thought we were being really cocky doing that, but now it's 35. It just gets bigger all the time."

THEY'VE OBVIOUSLY BEEN PRACTISING

Remember when McBusted first announced they were a 'thing' and then turned up to The Hunger Games: Catching Fire premiere in the shape of a human pyramid? Yeah, that was sort of incredible.

But clearly these lads aren't happy with being a one trick pony or anything less than bloody *amazing*, because they've rocked up to Cosmopolitan's Ultimate Women of the Year Awards in poses that blow human pyramids out of the water. And we are impressed.



Yep, the lot have obviously been working on some new red carpet ideas for the cameras and while some boybands supergroups are happy just to stand and stare broodily into a lens until it explodes into a million pieces *cough* Zayn Malik *cough*, these guys are not.

SERIOUSLY. The most we expect from our typical boybandy types is JLS' Aston doing a backflip or two during a concert, but this amount of dedication is simply outstanding. PLUS, we get to see some torso action, which is always a bit of a bonus.

But in case you're wondering just how this was physically possible, there's also a handy 'before' photo which should come in handy if you fancy recreating this with your mates later on...

Really aren't afraid of getting their faces in each other's crotches, are they? We commend that.

Well, there isn't a lot more we can say about this really apart from CONGRATULATIONS LADS, you've raised the bar for posing celebrities everywhere. Things can only go up from here.

We've definitely found our new screensaver, but what do you think of McBusted's latest red carpet assault? Impressed? Slightly alarmed? Bit of both? Comments please...
