Louis Tomlinson has delighted his Geordie fans by confirming he will host an album signing in Newcastle.
It's now been 12 years since a then teenage Louis shot to fame on The X Factor as a member of One Direction. The group were put together by the judges at Boot Camp, with Nicole Scherzinger taking credit for the line-up, before going onto reach the final of the ITV talent show, in the year that Matt Cardle won.
While they might not have triumphed on The X Factor, 1D went onto be the show's biggest global success story, with platinum selling albums and packed out tours across the globe, landing huge hits with the likes of What Makes You Beautiful, Best Song Ever and Story of My Life.
