Made up of Grace Chatto, Milan Neil Amin-Smith, Jack Patterson and Luke Patterson, Clean Bandit responded to Kasabian guitarist Sergie Pizzorno who expressed anger at being snubbed from BRIT Award nominations this year.

Responding to Serge's comment that "it's an outrage" as "Clean Bandit don't even write their own tunes", Grace said to the Daily Mirror newspaper: "It's so weird and odd. We do write our own music. It's just so funny that he would say that.

"Maybe he just assumed that because we've had this hit with 'Rather Be' it's the sort of pop that has millions of writers behind. But we didn't. I think it was about us being nominated in the best band category. It was a surprise for us - maybe it wasn't a nice surprise for them."

However, the cellist has insisted she won't get down because of the musician's comments as she's not a huge fan of his work anyway.

"Maybe it's jealousy. I don't really care. I don't know a lot of Kasabian's music. I am into rock music but I don't know their stuff."

She went on to insist that she and her bandmates will be letting their hair down to celebrate their career so far if they do take home the prize for Best British Group on February 25.

"We'll definitely party. We like to party." she added.
