Mainly a big fat intro...

So, the rumours were true; One Direction were pulled on to tonight's X Factor, and it lasted about half a second. Hurumph.

Some say it was to increase ratings, some say it was just because it's illegal to not have them on prime time TV at least thrice a week, others say it's simply because the world needs to see Zayn's hair on a regular basis or it'll crumble into depression.

We're told by our fashionista friends that this colour combo is called 'Cherry Noir.'

How enticing.
