X-Factor boyband One Direction have confirmed the rumours that they were going to receive their own US television show, after their hugely successful American tour alongside Big Time Rush – who also boast their own program in the states.
The group toured with the all-American boygroup, who began their career on their Nickelodeon show of the same name, and impressed fans and critics alike – with one Canadian newspaper even suggesting that they’d outshined their US counterparts on their own headline tour. Now, it seems like they’ve impressed Nickelodeon too – who confirmed that the boys would be getting their own show via their official Twitter page.
The network wrote: “The rumours are true, our live-action slate does include a development project for @onedirection. Welcome to the family,” before an inevitable rush of One Direction fans began bombarding the page with questions regarding the potential show. One fan asked “Can you say whether it a show / documentary? Can't wait to see it, so excited right now,” to which they replied: “All we can say is development project, sorry.”
We’ll give you more on this story as it develops – for UK fans, though, you’ll be able to see the group onstage rather than on television as they tour the country in 2013. If you’re a fan, check the dates and details out below and grab yourself a pair of tickets.
