POP sensations Tatu have finally admitted they swing both ways ...and not just while dancing to mega-hit All The Things She Said.

In a tantalising interview, the Russian girl duo, who market themselves as lesbians but have been spotted with boyfriends, reveal the truth about their sexuality.

"There has been something between us," confessed Yulia Volkova, 17. "Everyone's so sure we're lesbianki but maybe we are bisexualki. Why not?"

The girls from Tatu laid bare their sexlives to the News of the World after laying bare their flesh to get tattooed.

"We're not virgins," they giggled. Although Yulia admits: "I generally prefer women, they are more faithful."

But she admits blokes have their uses. "I like tall sporty types — swimmers and karatefighters," she added.

Her pop partner Lena Katina, 18, chipped in: "Men are stupid and rough."

But they still feature heavily in her fantasies: "The ocean, night-time," she sighs, "I'm with a man...making love."

Tatu, short for Ta lyubit tu (this one loves that one) are hailed as the greatest pop find since the Spice Girls.

With All The Things She Said reaching No.1, four more singles are planned.

And the BBC, who this week banned their raunchy video, had better stay on standby.

In the Russian video for upcoming single Simple Motions, Yulia is in the bath, working herself into quite a lather.

The scene's so hot she had to warn her mum. "But she saw it," smiled Yulia, "and liked it a lot." We bet Aunty's not so keen.
