Niall Horan to go in a new Direction?

According to the bookies, there's a high chance.

Bookies have suspended betting today on Niall Horan being the next member to leave One Direction.

The topic had been the subject of speculation over the weekend with numerous bets placed on him in the Midlands at 8/1 to leave the band.

And this morning a €500 bet was placed in one of their Westmeath stores - where Niall coincidently hails from.

Maybe someone with some inside information?

Niall did post this picture on his Instagram eariler this month to show evidence of him and the band in the studio writing new material for their upcoming album so maybe there's nothing to fear after all.
