While Liam Payne is busy sellotaping his heart back together again and watching The Notebook on repeat, his bandmates are doing their best to take the heat off him. Harry's used the opportunity to invest in a long overdue UK version of the Playboy Mansion, Zayn's been practising his telephone etiquette, and Louis Tomlinson has been talking about homosexuality.
And the other one? Well, he's just being Nially.*
But let us go back to Louis for a moment.
The One Direction boys headed to Alan Carr's chat show set yesterday to pre-record an interview with the Chatty Man. They talked about kissing, they talked about they talked about string theory** and they talked about the homosexuality rumours that have been thrown at Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson ever since the dawn of day the term Larry Stylinson was coined.
Alan put on his serious face for a moment, and questioned Louis quite intently about why he appears to get so upset about the rumours.
“I just think it’s really degrading towards her," Louis said - presumably talking about his girlfriend, Eleanor Calder, and not just getting confused about his bandmate's gender.
It isn't the first time Louis has got his knickers in a bit of a twist about his sexuality - he took to Twitter last week to complain about the rumours, and Eleanor spent a while yesterday denying rumours that they'd split as a result.
Harry Styles has remained quite quiet throughout the whole affair - after all, it's all very silly: everybody knows Louis isn't old enough for him anyway. But he did get grilled about his new potential lady friend Natalie Imbruglia.
"We were at a wedding, James Corden's wedding," Harry told Alan. "We'd never met before, and that was literally it. We had a drink.
"I guess we kinda left at the same time so it might have looked a bit dodgy."
