One Direction have reassured their British fans that they are not planning to move permanently to the US, despite their huge success across the pond this year.
Speaking in an interview, band member Liam Payne pledged that they had no plans to up sticks and leave Britain.
He said: "We were all asked the other day where we would want to live in the world and we all said the UK. There are great places out there but you can't pick anywhere but home.
"Obviously we miss home a lot and we have been away now for many weeks but we will be back. Our fans there are the best. Without them we would not be enjoying the success we are. They started all this for us and we won't forget that.
"We have been in America and Australia but there's nothing like being home with your friends. So we are glad that we will be back in the UK very soon. We don't want our UK fans to think we have deserted them.
"We are only away because you have got to try to achieve your dreams a little bit."
But it seems one Canadian in particular will be particularly keen to see the boys get back to North America as soon as possible.
Justin Bieber has dropped some heavy hints that he'd like to work with them on a song in future.
He said: "They are great guys, and I am always looking to work with people who have talent and I like. I think there could potentially be a great chemistry between us.
"We were both in the same recording studio a couple of weeks back, not doing stuff together, it was just coincidence.
"But maybe next time we can record together."
