A lucky handful of teenage girls are basking in glory after Niall Horan took part in an impromptu Q&A session on Twitter.

Fans were beside themselves when the One Direction star answered their questions in a series of short videos posted online on Wednesday night.

Niall, 23, who is currently carving out a solo career with his first single released this week, talked about everything from music to golf and his idea of a 'perfect day' - and left fans in pieces.

'Have only really got a feel for the reaction now as I'm reading online,' he tweeted his fans at the time. 'Really appreciate the support from you all.'

One Direction, who are currently on a hiatus, formed in 2010 after failing to progress on The X Factor UK and have since become one of the higest-selling boy bands of all time.

They quickly rose to global stardom with the help of Simon Cowell and they continue to dominate pop charts around the world despite the 2015 departure of Zayn Malik.
