One Direction have offered some sage advice to singers hoping to find fame on this year’s series of The X Factor.

The teenage boyband came third on the 2010 run of the ITV reality TV show and unlike Cher Lloyd who advised the new batch of hopefuls to ‘run away’ and hide, the boys claim that all the wannabes need to do, is just be themselves.

Speaking to ITV.com, Harry Styles said contestants shouldn’t be ‘phoney,’ explaining:
Don’t be phoney! Be yourself and don’t pretend be something you’re not. The public will see right through it.

Louis Tomlinson added:
Switch your songs up and don’t be afraid to go out of your comfort zone. And dress to impress. STANDARD!

Niall Horan thinks the singers just need to relax and enjoy the show, saying:
Make sure you relax and enjoy it – don’t let nerves kill all the fun. And don’t be a diva – be nice to everyone who helps you as it’s highly likely you’ll meet them again further down the line.

Niamhs P.O.V

We got to the shopping center and went to the shoe shop 'Cans'

and Niall bought me a pair of red kneen hight converse. Aw, I love that boy!!

Then we got ice cream and went to the park. 'Niamh, there is this dance on...' Niall said quitly '

and I was thinking about asking Sarah'. I looked at him my eyes filled with tears. 'Oh god!! I was only joking!! I didn't mean to upset you!!'


I wiped the tears from my eyes 'Who were you going to ask?' I smiled 'My girlfirend, who is nicer and prettyer then her twin...'.


'Love you too Niall' We heard some one behind us. It was Sarah and Harry. 'Oh, did you hear that?' he said shly.


'Yeah' Sarah laughed. 'Sorry' he went all red.


Then I Sarah this look, and she got the idea.

'Come on Harry lets go to monsoon'

I panicked and rang Harry. 'Hello' he said. I started to cry 'Harry I'm lost' I really started to panick then. 'It's ok. Tell me what you can see' he told me 'A really big house' he paused 'I think that's Simon's house. Knock and check' I ran up and rang the doorbell. Simon answered 'Hey it's Kate! Harry's girlfriend' I said. 'Oh hi Kate!Are you ok?' he asked. 'Not really. I'm sorta lost but Harry's coming to collect me' I told him. 'Come inside he told me' I came in and he gave me a Galaxy cookie crumble and a can of coke. We talked for about 10 minutes when there was a knock at the door. I answered it. It was Harry! 'Harry!!!!!!!' I said as I jumped into his arms. 'I'm so happy to see you' I told him. I fell asleep on the way back to the hotel I was so tired! Leah was sitting in the lobby when I got back. 'KATE' she roared running towards me. I moved out of the way so she wouldn't run into me. She fell over into a water fountain. 'Whoops' I said.

WHILE X Factor pal CHER LLOYD seeks attention with new tattoos, ONE DIRECTION do it with T-shirts.



HARRY STYLES stepped out in Liverpool with a declaration of love for bandmate LOUIS TOMLINSON emblazoned on his chest.

The grey top was printed with both their first names, separated by a red heart.

When the boys hit LA in January, 19-year-old Louis also got in on the action.

The cheeky chappy boldly wore a white top with 'Cheryl, call me.... x' on it.

My guess is she didn't.

One Direction raking cash




They didn’t even win the XFactor, coming third, and they’ve yet to release a CD but boyband One Direction featuring our very own Irish lad Niall Horan are already raking in the cash. Simon Cowell has signed them up and it appears they received a gesture of £8,000 (€9,321) already with the label investing over £2 Million into the band.

It’s espected the band will get floods of endorsement offers that will further enhance their bank accounts – a number of computer games and fashion houses are said to be interested in using the popular band in their advertising campaigns. They’re currently in L.A., shopping til they shop, and working with some top music producers.
