Pop icons end up in Happy Meals

McDonald's latest Happy Meal deals will feature songs from the Sugababes, Girls Aloud and McFly, after the bands signed advertising deals with the fast food chain.

The bands will put on a show at one of McDonald's London stores and other bands are expected to follow suit and be signed up to the promotion, according to Brand Republic.

McDonald's will run a competition, offering winners tickets to the star-studded performance, said the leading marketing website.

As a result of the marketing deal with McDonald's McFly have decided to postpone their new album.

Radio:Active, McFly's fourth studio album, was set to be released at the end of June, but has been postponed until September.

A source close to McFly told the Sun that the band were geared up for a summer release, but said: "Everything hit the buffers as soon as McDonald's expressed an interest in a unique partnership.

"It cost the lads a pretty penny to bin everything at such a late stage."

McFly found fame in 2004 with their debut single Five Colours in her Hair, which made it straight to number one in the UK charts.
