One Direction Heading Back To X Factor

One Direction Headed Back To X Factor Roots

The lads of One Direction are headed back to The X Factor as guest mentors.

But British fans shouldn't get too excited - the boys have actually signed up to appear on the Australian version of the TV talent contest.

Harry Styles, Liam Payne, Louis Tomlinson, Niall Horan and Zayn Malik will join forces with judge Ronan Keating to offer tips to hopefuls on the show - despite only being in the spotlight for a little more than a year.

A source told The Mirror: "Ronan was really keen on teaming up with the lads. Despite their age, they are in a great position to give help and support - they've been there and done it.

"They have already gone through the process and have even managed to break America."

The Boyzone hunk was spotted following One Direction into London nightclub Koko on Thursday to film scenes for the show.
