The One Direction 'hiatus' was basically the worst thing to ever happen to us in our lives (apart from Honey G leaving The X Factor this weekend. RIP). They told us all they'd definitely be reforming at some point, teased us by adding and deleting a 'future events' tab on their site (prob some poor old work experience who made a mistake), but deep down we'd always been pretty sure it was neeeever gonna happen.
But now Niall Horan (of course it would be him) has GIVEN US HOPE by proclaiming that it would "be silly" if they didn't reform.
U R RIGHT, NIALL.
He told Sunday People: "We will be back. We would be silly not to... ridiculous.
"At the moment we are all doing our own thing. Harry wanted to do his movie and everyone is just chilling. I don't think anyone needs to worry about us, we are fine."
TBF we are massively enjoying all of their solo shenanigans, particularly Harry Styles and these SXC pics of him on the set of Dunkirk.
Phwoar.
Perhaps our second fave thing about the boys' new lives is that Liam Payne is collaborating with none other than Samuel Preston AKA PRESTON FROM THE ORDINARY BOYS AKA Preston who got together with Chantelle Houghton in the best series of CBB TO HAVE EVER BEEN (soz, Stephen Bear).
The most unexpected pairing since he got together with Cheryl – he's got a thing about surprises, hasn't he?
Preston posted the following picture with Liam (and some guy called Sylvester Music) on Instagram.
The caption reads: "Music! with @sylvestermusic and @liampayne."
COME ON, ONE DIRECTION, DO US AL A FAVOUR AND GET BACK TOGETHER. Think of all the goss you'll have to catch up on!
