Tom Parker of The Wanted has defended the recent antics of fellow pop star Justin Bieber, saying the singer is "just maturing" and revealing he's "done a lot worse" things in his time.
Biebs has been making headlines for all the wrong reasons lately, [uuid=f6f4969d-37b3-4ea8-8982-c64e9f197ea0]reportedly becoming involved in a fight[/uuid] in a Toronto nightclub and [uuid=d995054c-7433-48a4-a445-74eac96e87d5]being caught on camera urinating[/uuid] into a mop bucket.
But Parker has voiced his support for the singer, telling The Huffington Post UK: "Anything he does away from his squeaky clean image is seen as him being a bad lad, but he's just doing things that a normal nineteen-year-old would do."

The 25-year-old Walks Like Rihanna singer added: "I've done a lot worse, but because I'm a lot older and wasn't in the public eye at that age, no one knows or cares.
"He's just maturing and I kind of like how he's not that kid that sang 'Baby' any more. He's turning into a handsome young chap."
The Wanted are currently gearing up for the release of their [uuid=f5f8f26f-b911-4037-bef2-4932e5d59fd1]long-awaited fourth studio album Word Of Mouth[/uuid] which drops on November 4, while Justin is about to kick off the final leg of his massive Believe world tour.
