The 23-year-old singer clad himself in an array of ridiculous costumes for the track Candy, performed the tune of Ginuwine's famous track Pony, as part of the 38-year-old's hit chat series The Late Late Show.

The Late Late Show, known for silly skits such as this, was evidently Niall's last stop on his LA trip, having jetted there last week.  

The Irish blonde was seen heading to the CBS studios with a female pal on Thursday before he headed to LAX airport for home - after admitting he still fancies singer Ellie Goulding.

Meanwhile Niall revealed he still holds a candle for his ex-girlfriend Ellie during an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show on Wednesday.

The pair enjoyed a string of dates back in 2014 but decided they were better off as friends.

And Niall took part in a quick-fire game of Who'd You Rather with chat show host Ellen, and ended up picking the Burn singer as his dream date. 

Performing: The crooner sung his latest hit on radio in The Big Apple

Dapper: Wearing a flat cap, jeans and a bomber, he cut a suave figure

Parched: The singer stripped off to his T-shirt as the performance appeared to warm him up

Explaining the rules, Ellie told Niall: 'You're single. I'm going to try and find you the perfect girlfriend. We're going to play a speed round of Who'd You Rather?

'I'm going to show you two pictures and you're going to choose one [person] over the other.'

While he selected both Rihanna and Selena Gomez on three occasions each, beating the likes of Taylor Swift and Demi Lovato, it was Ellie he eventually settled on as his ideal woman. 

He selected the British beauty over Rita Ora, Jennifer Lopez and Kendall Jenner.

Ellen declared: 'I think Ellie's the winner! You wana be with Ellie. It's official. If Ellie's watching, there's your guy!'

During the interview, which marked Niall's first solo visit to The Ellen DeGeneres Show without his One Direction bandmates, the pair chatted about how they both look alike and compared photos of themselves. 

Joking about how often he gets compared to Ellen, Niall laughed: 'Every day of my life. I don't mind it though, I like it!'

He also talks about writing his debut solo single This Town, before treating the studio audience to a live performance.

Ellie and Niall are alleged to have hooked up in 2014, while she was supposedly seeing Ed Sheeran.

The 29-year-old is still plagued by the rumours she cheated with the Irishman on then-'boyfriend' Ed Sheeran, despite her insistence she never dated the Thinking Out Loud singer.

Sheeran's song Don't, which is about a lover who cheated with his friend, was rumoured to be about Goulding; her song On My Mind, which tells of a one-night stand with a tattooed admirer who got too attached, was rumoured to be her reply. 

In the hot seat: Anna Kendrick is also set to make an appearance on Ellen's chat show 

Animated: The talented actress was chatting about her new films, The Accountant and Trolls 

However, Sheeran has never confirmed who the song is about, while Goulding has persistently denied her part.

Ellie recently confessed she's still a great admirer of the former 1D singer.

'We're still friends. We went on a few dates, and it was really fun. He's a really, really lovely guy,', she told Seventeen magazine.

'He's got the biggest sense of humour, he's very caring, and I see him as a genuine friend in the industry.'
