He’s one of the most famous celebrities in the world but Niall Horan isn’t about to let anyone use him for publicity.
When comedian Daniel Walton claimed to have inside information on One Direction after attending a recording of A League of Their Own, which features Niall, last week, the Mullingar man soon put him in his place.
Showing that simplicity is often the best option, Niall tweeted: “@DWaltonOfficial who are you ?”
The hiatus is OVER, people.@NiallOfficial, @Real_Liam_Payne, @Louis_Tomlinson & @Harry_Styles are dropping a BRAND NEW album in 2017.#1D

@DWaltonOfficial who are you ?
— Niall Horan (@NiallOfficial) July 7, 2016
I've had lots of asking if I'm being serious and yes, I'm being deadly serious.
Album in the spring.
Tour in the winter.— Daniel Walton (@DanielJWalton90) July 7, 2016
Niall’s message came after Daniel teased his followers by claiming he had some exclusive One Direction news and followed it up with a message saying the hiatus is over and the band will be back next year.
But sadly for fans, it appears to have been nothing more than a publicity stunt for the comedian, who replied to 1D fans by promoting his upcoming tour.
While we may not see Niall on stage with his bandmates any time soon, he’s got plenty going on right now.

The 22-year-old singer is rumoured to be working on new material and he recently landed his first solo magazine cover, even if it was a golf publication.
He posed for the 350th issue of Today’s Golfer Magazine alongside his golfer pal Justin Rose – and Niall certainly looks the part.
Titled ‘The Cool Issue’, the cover has, “How pop star Niall Horan and Justin Rose are changing the game,” printed on the front.
Niall is a keen golfer, even recently setting up his own player management firm, and admitted he and bandmate Harry Styles loved playing the game while on the road with 1D as it allowed them to get away from everything and relax.
He told the magazine: “Well, I’ve got into it more over the past four or five years and appreciate it more. When I was on the road with One Direction it allowed me to escape the hotel for a few hours and relax. Harry and I used to play a fair bit and travelling so much has allowed me to play some amazing courses all over the world. It’s a great way to escape from everything for a few hours.”
