Louis, who is currently enjoying his new role as a judge on the 2018 series of The X Factor, followed music legend Nile Rodgers on Instagram, and eagle-eyed fans think they are onto something.
Of course, you are probably thinking just because Louis has hit the follow button doesn't mean he's about to work with Nile. However, the 1D singer only follows a TINY 194 people, despite having nearly 14 million followers himself.
Fans were also quick to spot Louis liking a photo of Nile on Lunchmoney Lewis' account, leading fans to express their thoughts on Twitter...
One Direction formed on The X Factor in 2010. All five members auditioned as individual contestants and were put together as a group by Simon Cowell.
