So it seems Niall Horan is going to be the first member of One Direction to walk. Well, that is, if Brian McFadden’s predictions are correct!

The former Westlife star has revealed that he thinks Niall, the only Irish lad in 1D, will leave before the others.

“He comes across as the guy who’ll probably follow in my and Robbie (Williams)’s steps and be the first to leave,” he told Real Radio Yorkshire recently.

Brian went on to explain the reasoning behind his thinking: “All the ones that leave first always have that same twinkle in their eye – they’re a bit bold, a bit naughty!

“I reckon Niall’s the naughty one. Maybe because he’s Irish… I don’t know what it is, maybe it’s his accent… He’s gonna cause trouble.”

Brian, as everyone knows, left Westlife back in 2004 after they hit the big time. He went on to release some solo material before taking a television job in Australia.

But while we’ll admit that Niall does have a special twinkle in his eye we can’t see him giving up all that money, fame and female attention just yet!
