Union J are scared of Ella Henderson's new "sexy" image.
The four-piece boyband - who made it to the live finals of 'The X Factor' along with Ella in 2012 - were taken aback to see their "little sister" acting provocatively in her music video for her number one single 'Ghost'.
Jaymi, 24, told Digital Spy: "It does scare me. We remember Ella being 16 and our little sister, and she's in the music video looking sexy.
"I was like, 'Get it off, now! Put some clothes on!'"
Although the boyband - made up of Jaymi, Josh Cuthbert, JJ Hamblett and George Shelley - find Ella's seductive new look hard to accept they admitted they are thrilled for the 18-year-old after her debut track shot to the top of the charts.
Jaymi explained: "For someone who came sixth on The X Factor to be one of this year's biggest-selling artists is incredible. She's amazing. We're so proud.
"People always put two fingers up to X Factor and say it's s**t, but you can't argue with One Direction, Ella and people like that."
Jaymi also revealed he's asked Ella to perform at his upcoming wedding to his fiance Olly Marmon - although following on from the success of 'Ghost' he isn't sure she will have the time.
He said: "I did ask her. She was, but now she's going to be a global superstar I'm not sure if she'll fit it in. That would be a dream."

Cher is struggling to say goodbye to performing live as she starts to wrap up her last ever tour.
The 68-year-old pop star is currently performing her 'Dressed To Kill' farewell gigs across the globe and admits the idea of giving up performing is difficult to deal with after so many years.
She took to Twitter last night (01.07.14) to write: "Had great fun tonite! (sic)", after performing in San Jose, California.
She added: "Great audience... Its hard to Say goodbye 4 Ever? (sic)"
The Dressed To Kill tour is the first time Cher has been on the road in nearly a decade, after her 'Living Proof: The Farewell Tour', which ran from 2002 to 2005.
She then took up a residency at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, performing from 2008 to 2011.
Cher previously insisted she's still got what it takes to put on an incredible live show, and she can even still squeeze into her fishnet bodystocking.
She said: "A friend said to me that a woman is sexy while she can still put on her stockings, I thought, 'I can do better than that, I can still put on my body stocking'. They'll probably even dress me in it when I'm dead."
The 'If I Could Turn Back Time' hitmaker is promoting her latest album 'Closer to the Truth' and is scheduled to play shows across the US and Canada, wrapping up the concert series in Wichita, Kansas in November.

Nick Grimshaw and Alexa Chung recreated Dolly Parton's Glastonbury set backstage at the festival.
The Radio 1 Breakfast Show DJ and model friend were partying in the Beats by Dre VIP area at the event at Worthy Farm in South East England at the weekend.
The pair acted out Dolly's gig for singer Sam Smith who missed it because he was performing at the same time on The Other Stage on Sunday (29.06.14) and also joined Disclosure in the evening for a rendition of their track 'Latch'.
A source told BANG Showbiz: "Nick and Alexa were having a great time backstage and performed Dolly's hits '9 to 5' and 'Jolene', along with an accompanied dance routine for Sam, who was disappointed he'd missed Dolly perform."
The celebrity friends played the songs on Beats Pill XL speakers and the likes of Eliza Doolittle, Laura Whitmore and Foxes were also spotted backstage.
Sam said: "It's been absolutely amazing but I've not seen that many people play, I was performing while Dolly was playing. It would have been great to go and watch her sing."
Nick, who got a private jet to the site in Pilton, also held an impromtu party in the VIP tent when the rain started to pour on Saturday (28.06.14) and friend Rita Ora almost missed her helicopter out of the festival.

The Who frontman Roger Daltrey feels "sorry" for music fans who record concerts on their phones rather than enjoying the moment.
The 'Substitute' singer finds it "weird" that people prefer to film shows on their handsets rather than lose themselves in the music but accepts it's a modern phenomenon.
When asked what he thought of gig-goers recording shows, Roger said: "I feel sorry for them. Looking at life through a screen and not being in the moment totally - if you're doing that, you're 50 percent there, right? I find it weird. But people seem to like it, they're all mad, but maybe I'm mad."
However, Roger's bandmate Pete Townsend disagrees with him and insists people's penchant to make their own concert films does have benefits but only if their motivation is right.
Speaking at a press conference at Ronnie Scott's in London on Monday (30.06.14) to announce The Who Hits 50 tour, the guitarist said: "I'm a real technofile, I really love new technology. I jumped on the iPhone when it first came out, I jumped on the internet and was one of the first individuals in the music business to have my own website so I love it. I'm for it really because all of those people you could say are doing a job, what they're doing presumably is taking that footage and sharing it so as long as we look alright and are playing OK then they're sharing something that we used to have to pay people to produce. It's low quality and can be a bit naff but if it's shared widely it's good.
"There's an amazing video of me breaking a guitar in Yokohama and I play this amazing bit of guitar just before I smash the guitar. It was never filmed by anyone except one guy with a camera phone and he put it up. I'm proud of it, it's a great bit of guitar playing before I sadly smash the guitar. On the other hand I do agree with Roger, if you've been to Glastonbury this weekend I hope you enjoyed the music rather than feeling you have to build a Facebook story about it."
Tickets for The Who's nine-date UK tour - which begins in Glasgow on November 30 and ends at The O2 in London on December 17 - go on sale at 9am on July 4 from Aeglive.co.uk.

Ex-Lostprophets members have formed a new band called No Devotion.
The band will continue under the new name, without singer Ian Watkins, after he was jailed for 35 years in December last year for a string of child sex offences.
Geoff Rickly, formerly of metal band Thursday, will take on the role of frontman and the members admit they weren't sure if they could carry on after Ian's court case.
Bassist Stuart Richardson said: "We didn't know if we would ever make music again or if people would look us in the face. Everything felt like it was over."
No Devotion release their debut single 'Stay', backed by 'Eyeshadow', on Collect Records today (01.07.14) and they will head out on tour later this month.
Speaking about their decision to move on, Stuart said: "We didn't know what else to do - we just wrote music. I didn't know if anyone would ever want to hear it. I just needed to occupy my brain. We just needed this."
The band also features guitarists Mike Lewis and Luke Gaze, drummer Luke Johnson and keyboardist Jamie Oliver and Geoff admits he "hadn't really listened" to Lostprophets but that he liked the musicians.
He said: "You don't really grow out of punk, you grow with it. To my mind, post-punk was about taking a more sophisticated approach to that sound, and I think we all have a shared respect for that era of modern music."
Speaking of the Ian being jailed and the affect his sentencing had on the band, Geoff added: "I didn't think it was fair, what was happening to them. And, well, the music was too good to pass up."

The band will play the following gigs from this month..

July 22 - Cardiff CF10
July 23 - Manchester Sound Control
July 25 - London O2 Islington Academy
July 26 - Glasgow O2 ABC2

Kasabian will feature on the first episode of MTV's new talk show 'Soundchain'.
The Glastonbury headliners will join DJ Zane Lowe to discuss their inspirations, success and perform tracks from their new album '48:13'.
Zane said: "I'm excited! This is the type of TV show I've wanted to do for a really long time. We're attempting to re-create some of the amazing journeys that these artists have been on, as they tell us about the people, the records and the experiences that have brought them to where they are today."
Kasabian - featuring Tom Meighan, Serge Pizzorno, Ian Matthews and Chris Edwards - performed with fellow headliners Arcade Fire and Metallica at the event at Worthy Farm last week.
Billy Clyro, Ed Sheeran, Chase & Status, Nas and Jake Bugg have all been confirmed as guests, with Ed set to perform three brand new tracks from his forthcoming album 'x'.
Zane said: "What's really cool is that all these artists, a lot of them are really new. It's quite rare to speak to someone like Ed Sheeran and go, 'Let's go back', because he's too busy looking forward.
"We wanted to contextualise the journey and hear the emotional stuff and funny stuff and put it all together."
'Relentless Ultra Presents Soundchain' launches on MTV Music on July 6 at 9.30pm.

Dolly Parton claims her voice is "not fake".
The 68-year-old singer has spoken out after claims she mimed during her Glastonbury performance on Sunday night (29.06.14) and insists she did sing live at the event at Worthy Farm in South East England.
She told The Sun newspaper: "My boobs are fake, my hair's fake but what is real is my voice and my heart."
Newsreader Kay Burley took to Twitter after Dolly's set to suggest the '9 to 5' singer was miming.
She tweeted: "Oh, Dolly is miming. How disappointing."
The comment was re-tweeted hundreds of times and fans including comedian Stephen Fry jumped to her defence, claiming it was a "HD live processor issue".
A spokesman for Dolly also slammed the comments about her miming.
They told The Sun: "It's ridiculous to suggest Dolly was miming. She's been performing for more than 60 years - she doesn't need to.
"This should not overshadow what was truly a great gig and accomplished performance. Dolly adored every single moment."
Meanwhile, Dolly - who performed her energetic set in front of more than 200,000 adoring fans clad in a white suit covered in rhinestones - had received a surprise award prior to her set.
She was presented with a congratulatory plaque by Glastonbury organiser Michael Eavis and her manager Danny Nozell in honor of selling 100 million albums worldwide.

Lady Gaga and Judas Priest could collaborate.
The 'Applause' hitmaker has been discussing working with the veteran metal band on a new single and the band's singer Rob Halford seems keen on working together in the future.
He told the Huffington Post: "I've been a huge fan of Gaga since she first burst on the scene. I just love everything that lady represents. First and foremost, her voice is extraordinary. I love her voice. She's an accomplished musician, she plays piano really well, she's just a great songwriter. And she's a beacon of hope for a lot of people in the world."
The 'Breaking the Law' rocker met Gaga for the first time when he was a guest at a concert in San Diego, California - and now the pair are making plans to hit the studio together.
He said: "[Meeting her] was a real moment come true. We didn't really have much time to talk. She's busy. I'm busy, but we've agreed to get together at some point and just hang out and maybe do something. I don't know if that will ever happen, but I love her to death."
Gaga has previously spoken about her love of metal music and recently hung out with Anthrax drummer Charlie Benante.

Kasabian have announced an autumn arena tour.
The rockers - who had the honour of closing this year's Glastonbury festival on sunday night (29.06.14) - are set to embark on an arena tour of the UK and Ireland this November - including a five-night stint at the O2 Brixton academy.
The tour is sure to be a hit after the four-piece band secured their fourth consecutive number one album '48.13' this year and played a homecoming show at Leicester's Victoria Park to a crowd of 50,000 fans.
Meanwhile, lead singer Tom Meighan, became visibly emotional as the band brought the iconic Worthy Farm event in Somerset, South West England to a close.
He said during the performance: "Ten years ago we opened The Other Stage - we'd been up all night of course. Seriously, thank you for this."
Kasabian performed fan favourites like 'Shoot The Runner', which featured a sample of Kanye West's 'Black Skinhead' and 'Processed Beats', while at another point, guitarist Serge Pizzorno performed a bluesy cover of Gnarls Barkley's 'Crazy' with just a guitar and a trumpet, while Tom left the stage for a break.
The 50,000-strong crowd were treated to a surprise appearance from 'Mighty Boosh' joker Noel Fielding during 'Vlad The Impaler'.
Dressed in a turban with blood streaked across his face, Noel bounded across the stage in a cape as Tom chanted "Bobby Womack see you on the other side", a tribute to the legendary soul singer who passed away on Friday (27.06.14).
Kasabian finished their stellar set with a cover of Fatboy Slim's 'Praise You' and 'L.S.F'.
