One Direction celebrate their 10-year anniversary later this year, and fans are convinced that all five boys are secretly planning a massive reunion.
Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson, Niall Horan, Liam Payne and Zayn Malik shot to fame on ITV singing contest The X Factor in 2010.
The five lads entered Simon Cowell’s talent show as solo singers, but were later put together as a group.
Despite not winning the show, One Direction have gone on to become one of the most successful X Factor acts ever.
From sell-out stadium tours to a concert documentary, One Direction dominated pop music until they announced their hiatus 2016.

Before the boys announced their extended break, Zayn decided to leave the group leaving 1D as a four-piece.
July 23 2020 marks the ten year anniversary for the boyband, and fans have worked out the group are cooking up something big to mark the milestone.
From chatting about the highly-anticipated reunion in interviews to teasing a new documentary, the 1D boys have sent the rumour mill into overdrive.
Eared-eyed fans have posted reunion ‘conspiracy’ posts online.
These mention the fact that 1D have updated their music playlists on YouTube, and Apple Music has reportedly added all five of the group’s albums back onto the streaming service, with the banner image changed to include a past picture of Zayn.

There are also some fan theories leading to One Direction reuniting as a five-piece with Zayn.
According to fans, on Google, Zayn’s name used to say “Ex member” and now says “vocals” and the Pillow Talk hitmaker has been added to a “list” on the band’s Twitter account alongside Liam, Louis, Niall and Harry.
#onedirectionreunion was trending on Twitter recently and all the boys have reflowed each other on Twitter, including Zayn.
Zayn hasn’t returned the olive branch as of yet, and is not following them back.
Speaking on The One Show in January, former X Factor judge Louis said of a potential reunion: “I think it’ll happen at some point, we’d be stupid not to.”

While Strip That Down singer Liam told The Sun: “We’ve got a 10-year anniversary coming up so we’ve all been speaking together a lot over the last few weeks which has been really nice.
“You hear a lot of people’s voices and seeing old content and different things that we haven’t seen for a long time or never seen before, it’s very interesting.
“There’s a number of different things that we are all working on to try and make happen and people are forwarding emails around.”
Furthermore, the One Direction website has been reactive, giving fans glimmer of hope that some sort of a reunion is in the near future.
Odds on a One Direction reunion have also been slashes, with betting firm Ladbrookes giving odds of 1/5 for a reunion this year.
