British boyband get big break Stateside with slot on primetime chat show...

British boyband The Wanted are to get a crack at the lucrative American market next week when they make a guest appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show.

Max George revealed that he and his four bandmates will be appearing on the popular show in a tweet.

He said: "It's official peeps, The Wanted are coming to the US in 2 days to perform on @TheEllenShow Monday, airing Tuesday!! Everyone come see us!!!!

"You better be ready @TheEllenShow ... @thewantedmusic are coming! Be glad we came!!"

The last comment was a reference to their track Glad We Came - which was picked up by a number of US radio stations last year, giving them a bit of a profile across the pond.

The boys have previously supported Justin Bieber at gigs in London and South America - and Biebs' manager Scooter Braun tweeted his support.

He said: "The call came in today. @thewantedmusic are coming to the US because they are wanted on @TheEllenShow for Monday airing on Tuesday. nice"
