Chart-toppers One Direction are ready to reunite for the first time in almost a decade, reports the Mirror. The boy band - Harry Styles, Liam Payne, Louis Tomlinson, Niall Horan, and Zayn Malik - are tipped to get back together for James Corden's last-ever episode of The Late Late Show.
The actor and comedian will present the final episode of his hugely successful US talk show on April 27, with the likes of Tom Cruise, Ben Affleck and Sharon Stone set to appear in the show's final weeks.
Popular celebrity gossip outlet DeuxMoi got tongues wagging by claiming 1D were set to appear alongside Cruise for Corden’s final show. Fans fueled the speculation by pointing out the boys appeared to have cleared their schedules for this to potentially happen.
Harry Styles won’t resume his Love On Tour until May, while Niall Horan, now a judge on the US version of The Voice, isn’t touring until next month either. Louis Tomlinson cancelled the Asian leg of his Faith in the Future tour, which was due to happen between April 17-27, and Liam Payne also has time on his hands.
Sources close to Liam recently told OK! Magazine: "Liam is desperate to get back on the road with the boys, his solo career hasn't remained as successful as he hoped it would, and work has become stagnant for him. He knows he's somewhat fallen out of favour with the public, and believes the only way he'll be able to win back his fans is with a One Direction reunion."
Even Zayn Malik – who left the band in 2015 – has recently popped back up on social media after a long hiatus. As well as appearing on The Late Late Show, there are rumours 1D could even perform at Glastonbury this year if they do get back together.
Niall added further fuel to the fire as he recently confessed to sending unreleased songs to his former bandmates to get their honest opinion – revealing they are all still in touch.
