One Direction star Louis Tomlinson has taken to Twitter to complain about the 'disgusting stuff' he has been receiving on WhatsApp, saying that he will have to change is mobile number.

Whilst the content of these disgusting messages isn't clear, bandmate Niall has responded to Louis on Twitter saying that he has also been receiving 'Horrific' messages.

Louis later went on to say on Twitter that perhaps they should challenge the trolls to a 'rap battle and destroy them in 64 bars', however Niall said that would be 'too strong!'.

Even TV director Ben Winston (The Late Late Show with James Corden) responded with a tongue-in-cheek suggestion that they could televise the battle on Drop the Mic.

This comes just weeks after Niall hit out at a fan who posted a photo of him sleeping on a plane. The singer had refused a selfie earlier on in the flight and was catching up on a bit of sleep between London and Chicago when the fan took the photo.

Niall said on Twitter, 'I think this sh*t is unreal. I mean if you can't sleep on a plane without people taking photos of you,what can u do' sic
