The group question the ex-Libertine's talent

Girls Aloud have attacked Pete Doherty and his musical ability.

The girl group questioned the Babyshambles frontman's talent and suggested he was overrated.

Speaking to The Times, Nadie Coyle said: “He’s supposed to be this musical genius, but has anyone heard his singing?

"I’ve heard a Babyshambles album and it was like, ‘What am I listening to!?’ We could make a record that sounded like that, but could he make one that sounded like us?”

Meanwhile Kimberly Walsh questioned the singer’s desirability.

“I guess that if you like brown teeth and mouldy fingers, he’s your guy,” she sneered.

As previously reported, Girls Aloud are set to release their best of album ’The Sound Of Girls Aloud’ on October 30.
