One Direction

What would you do if you were a multi-millionaire?

Buy your dream house? Probably. Travel around the world? Yup, that's a contender too.

What about buying a novelty flying car to put in your garden? Well, if you're Liam Payne that's exactly how you'd be spending your hard-earned euro.

The One Direction singer revealed on UK radio this week that, as a self-confessed Harry Potter nerd, he actually has one VERY important piece of memorabilia from the film in his house.

"I bought the Harry Potter car and I put it in my garden," he told Nick Grimshaw on BBC Radio 1.

"You know the blue car, the flying one? I bought one because I’m a bit of a geek."

Harry Potter fans will recall the Weasley's enchanted Ford Anglia that Harry and Ron use to fly to Hogwarts in their second year, after failing to get through the Platform 9 3/4 entrance at King's Cross Station.

Liam now owns one of just a few "enchanted" Fords used during the filming of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets back in 2002.

Another one can be seen on the Warner Brothers Studio Tour in London, and a third lives at the National Motor Museum in Beaulieu, Hampshire.

Of course, the 1D singer's Harry Potter obsession doesn't end with movie memorabilia. The star also had his 22nd birthday cake custom-designed to look like a stack of Hogwarts books.

And if you were wondering what house Liam would be in if he HAD gotten that elusive letter from Hogwarts way back when, it would be Gryffindor.

"I did the test on the website," he told Nick.

"My friend got Hufflepuff and I got Gryffindor. He was so annoyed."

We would be too, in fairness…

In just a few months, the world-famous foursome that is One Direction will part ways for an indefinite "hiatus."

Their new album, Made In The AM, comes out today, and following a few more tour dates and a potential appearance at the BRITs to promote it, Niall, Louis, Liam and Harry will say goodbye to the boyband world for a while.

When the news broke originally, The Sun's Dan Wootton said the break would last "at least a year," but now it appears we'll be waiting a lot longer than that for a new 1D album.

Speaking on BBC Radio 1's Live Lounge this week, Liam Payne casually mentioned that the split was more likely to last "two years."

Two years. 104 weeks. 730 days. 17,520 hours… that's a very long time in the world of a One Direction fan.

"I just want to write songs," Liam, who recently split from his girlfriend of two years Sophia Smith, said of his plans for the extended break.

"We haven't really had time to write an album and whereas two years off…"

Niall Horan also has similar musical projects planned over the next two years, with Ellie Goulding revealing just yesterday that she plans to team up with him in the studio for his solo work.

"I’m going to write with him. He’s a really good guitarist and he’s funny, cheeky, really cool," she told The Sun.

"He’s been my friend for quite a few years so I’m really up for it."

The pair have indeed been friends for years and even went "on a few dates" back in 2013, according to Ellie.

In fact, it's their fling that's rumoured to have abruptly ended her and Ed Sheeran's burgeoning relationship, as documented by Ed in his song, Don't.

Wonder if Ellie and Niall have a similarly controversial duet planned?

After two years together, Liam Payne and Sophia Smith confirmed their split last week, but it seems it might not have been a mutual decision.

In a new interview, Liam admits the break-up was extremely tough on him, but it was what Sophia wanted.

"I'm absolutely devastated," he admitted to The Sun.

Despite being just months away from an indefinite hiatus from One Direction, inevitably it was Liam's work commitments that caused things to go sour.

"Being on the tour all this year and being away from her was so hard. We spent so much time apart.

"But in order to do right by somebody sometimes it's better not to do what your heart wants, but to do what's better for them."

Of all the One Direction lads, Liam has always seemed the most committed to his long-term relationship, often taking to social media over the last two years to tell Sophia (and his millions of followers) how much he missed her.

One Direction have spent the majority of 2015 on their On The Run tour, with a non-stop schedule of 80 performances across Asia, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, America and Europe.

With a long period of free time ahead of him in 2016, the singer says he's looking forward to leading a normal life for a while.

"Right now I'm looking forward to some alone time to figure out who I am and what I want to be."

It's thought the foursome will perform at the Royal Variety Show at the end of this year to celebrate the release of their album Made In the AM, with another possible gig at The Brits in February before calling things a day.

It's only been a few months since he called off his engagement to Perrie Edwards, but Zayn Malik has already well and truly moved on.

The singer was pictured leaving London's Nobu restaurant this week with actress Wallis Day.

Wallis, an English actress known for her role as Holly Cunningham on Hollyoaks, bears more than a passing resemblance to Perrie, with her long blonde hair and slender features.

Whether or not Zayn and Wallis had plans together after their meal is unclear, as the pair were sure to leave the restaurant in separate cars.

Perrie Edwards has yet to speak out openly about her split with Zayn, which reportedly took place via text, but she has said she is doing "good" a few months on.

In a recent interview the singer alluded to her feelings about her ex when she discussed the use of the word "d**khead" in Little Mix's new single, Hair.

"Well you know sometimes when you break up with someone they are that word so it’s alright to say in a song," Jade Thirwall explained on UTV.

"Yeah it is. He was just a b***-end, and I knew it," Perrie added.

We reckon she'll have a few more choice words after hearing about Zayn's latest night out with Wallis.

One Directions have officially made it to where no band has ever gone before; they have made it to the library of emojis.

Yep, they 1D guys unveiled their new emoji this week, along with the announcement that they are going to be performing at the 2015 American Music Awards in November.

So, how can you get this fabulous emoji? Well, whenever you tweet, use the hashtag #AMAs1D and it'll pop up! (Good move AMAs, because that hashtag is going to be used A LOT of times).

Now, the emoji will likely be temporary, but we're crossing our fingers that the guys become a permanent feature in our library of tiny images.

First, we heard the news that Liam Payne is planning to write songs for other boybands, and now it has been revealed that Louis Tomlinson is planning to work at Simon Cowell's record label Syco. 

The boyband star is set to run his own label imprint, as well as guest star on The X Factor. 

That will bring Louis and Simon back together to put some new talent out there, including potentially a “girl band,” as Louis told The X Factor’s Xtra recently.

“I’ve got, like, a little label imprint, so I’m trying to work with that at the moment,” Louis told hosts Melvin and Rochelle.

“I’m lucky enough to be working with Simon. We’ve got a few different projects going on at the moment — one of which is we’re actually trying to put a girl band together."

"Yeah, it’s just really exciting to be involved in the different side of it, the background.”

Although Liam Payne was hit with a nasty illness (or rumoured meltdown) last week and cancelled one of the bands Belfast gigs, it seems the singer is already looking toward the One Direction split next year.

The boyband star has released a song without the help of Harry, Niall, and Louis this week as he penned a track with co-writer Jamie Scott for Irish boyband Hometown.

The Night We Met is only available for pre-order and streaming in Ireland but there are some pretty heart-wrenching lyrics behind the song: "I know when your heart's aching / It’s like you’re in glass breaking / and I just wanna look at you / the way I did on the night we met."

Fans are already wondering why Liam didn't include the track as a One Direction song on their new album Made in the A.M., but Harry's already said that the whole group is the proudest they've ever been of an album so chances are Liam wrote the song after 1D's new album was finished.

It's been seven months since Zayn Malik confirmed he was leaving One Direction, but in hindsight it seems like it could have been the best decision for the band.

The remaining four lads are on the verge of their longest break yet, but Niall Horan says they're closer than ever.

"We’re happy and everything’s worked out," he told 2FM's Eoghan McDermott in an interview recorded in the early hours of this morning. 

"It’s actually brought us, the rest of us, closer together."

And speaking about Zayn's decision to leave the band mid-tour, Niall said there was never any bad blood.

"There were never any arguments or disagreements, or anything like that, I think he just fell out of love with it in the end.

"Towards the end you could see he wasn’t enjoying it as much, his heart wasn’t in it as much."

Back in March it seemed to many as if Zayn's decision to leave had been sparked by an ultimatum from his then-fiancée Perrie Edwards – which Niall did seem to allude to in his interview. 

"He had a couple of conversations where he had to make a few decisions I guess," Niall said.

There was more drama for the foursome earlier this week when their Belfast gig was cancelled at the eleventh hour, moments before they were due to appear on stage.

Today it was reported that Liam Payne's alleged "sudden illness" may in fact have been more of a "meltdown" sparked by the stress of constant work.

But when pressed by Eoghan today, Niall didn't give too much away.

"He was 'unable to perform,' that's all I will say," the Mullingar man said with a laugh.

And with an indefinite hiatus ahead, what does Niall hope to do with all that free time? Golf, travel and head to the gym, that's what.

"By the end of next year I’d love to be a low single-figures golfer," he admitted. 

"I’d like to be in some sort of good shape too."

The mega-famous boyband left thousands of fans heartbroken on Tuesday evening when they backed-out of a high-profile concert at the last minute.

Due to take to the stage at the SSE Arena in Belfast as part of their On The Road Again tour, just 30minutes prior to One Direction's scheduled performance waiting spectators were told via a representative that the gig had been cancelled.

Although at the time an official statement from their management said that Liam Payne was ill, further details of his mystery condition are now emerging… and it seems that the 22-year-old suffered from a 'backstage meltdown'.

"The pressures of fame and being on the road for two years have made Liam ill," a source told The Sun.

“He was devastated about letting everyone down, especially the fans, but he wasn’t physically able to get on stage. He had a complete meltdown.”

The source added that it had been "brewing" for a while and the uncertainty of his future with the band's impending hiatus hadn’t helped matters.

One Direction have now committed to performing an extra Belfast date tomorrow evening for the fans they left disappointed on Tuesday.

 Liam himself took to Twitter to confirm that he is "feeling much better now". He added: "I really can't wait to perform and make it up to everyone later."

Fans were left devastated last night when One Direction cancelled their scheduled On The Road Again tour performance in Belfast.

And with tickets for two more concerts – tonight and tomorrow night – already sold-out, understandably thousands of attendees have been worried that they too would miss out on the show.

However, Aiken Promotions has now said that those WILL go ahead as planned. Better still, anyone who missed out on last night's gig will be able to attend a rescheduled concert this Friday. 

"Once again we apologise for the cancellation of last night’s One Direction show," the statement began. 

"We thank everyone for their understanding and their good wishes to Liam. 

"Tuesday’s concert has been rescheduled for this Friday 23rd October. All tickets from last night's postponed concert will be valid for Friday.

"For anyone not able to attend the rescheduled show on Friday, please contact point of purchase for detail of how to obtain a refund."

With the band going on an extended break from next spring, their three Belfast gigs had been very much eagerly anticipated. 

However, Northern Irish fans – as well as those who had travelled from around the island to the SSE Arena – were left hugely disappointed when the lads cancelled at the last minute.

A statement read out to the largely irate crowd said that Liam Payne had fallen ill and was unable to perform. Disappointingly, none of the band appeared in front of their fans, though Harry, Louis and Niall did take to Twitter later in the evening.

Both Mr Styles and Mr Horan stated that "these things happen," while Mr Tomlinson said the situation was "out of our control".

An online official comment from the band's management last night explained: "Unfortunately One Direction have had to cancel tonight's concert in Belfast.  

"Liam has been taken suddenly ill, and the concert will sadly not be taking place. Fans have been asked to hold on to their tickets and there will be a further statement tomorrow.

"The band apologise to their fans and wish Liam well as soon as possible."

Simon Cowell has opened up about his fears about becoming a father for the first time, and what advice he has for another famous father to-be.

He spoke with Good Morning Britain and explained that while he had something of a shaky start, he has since embraced fatherhood.

The X Factor judge, and music mogul, is father to Eric who is almost two years old.

Simon admitted that when he was Louis Tomlinson’s age, he doesn’t know how he would have cope with the news he was going to be a dad.

“But he did call me and I said, ‘When you’ve embraced it, you’ll be amazed how much you are going to love it.”

Louis is expecting his first child with stylist Briana Jungwirth in early 2016.

56-year old Simon added that he told Louis that having a child “will change your life for the better.”

He did admit that when he and Lauren Silverman first welcome their son into the world, he didn’t adjust as quickly as he would have liked.

“When he was about 5 or 6 [months old], I was like … I just don’t know what to do! Because he wasn’t reacting to me and I thought, ‘Maybe he hates me.’ ”

He explained that someone told him he needed to have more patience, and eventually it just clicked for him:

“Suddenly one day they are talking, listening, responding … communicating. It’s a whole different ball game.”

He did confess that he is not sure if Eric taking on all of his dad’s personality traits is such a “good thing” but his taste in music makes up for any of those worries.

“One of the first records I got on tape of him playing along to was a One Direction record, so he’s got good taste.”

Hundreds of young fans were left devastated tonight after One Direction cancelled their first Belfast concert at the last minute.

The group were due to perform at the SSE Arena this evening after three sold-out nights at Dublin's 3Arena, but had to pull out just minutes beforehand.

Support act Jamie Lawson had just finished playing when the announcement was made around 9pm.

"Unfortunately One Direction have had to cancel tonight's concert in Belfast," a statement from Aiken Promotions read. 

"Liam has been taken suddenly ill, and the concert will sadly not be taking place."

Niall, Harry and Louis all took to social media tonight to apologise to fans for the unforeseen cancellation:

There is no news yet on whether Wednesday and Thursday's gigs will go ahead.

For now, tonight's attendees have been asked to "hold on to their tickets" with a further statement due tomorrow.

One concertgoer, father Michael Green, said he was "disgusted" at the way fans had been treated.

He told BBC that he and his six-year-old daughter had to walk past "hundreds and hundreds" of weeping women and children to exit the venue.
