As most fans know there has been much speculation over whether or not there could be a One Direction reunion in the future, but it looks like they are still just rumours at the moment.
Back in September, Louis revealed in an interview that he wasn't ruling out the idea of a reunion, "We're all just enjoying our time. But for me, there's no way, with a band like One Direction that it's not going to happen again."

The following month, whilst in Australia, Liam Payne then addressed the reunion rumours saying, "I think I have been asked that question more than any other band member. I don’t know why people think I am like the spokesman at the moment. I am like Captain America answering all the questions."
However, he went on to explain that he would love to get back with the boys, but he's cautious saying, "Me personally as me, I would love to get back together at some point. I think when it is all comfortable for everyone else. Rushing these things is how things get messed up."
The X Factor continues this weekend.
