Why Harry Styles And Niall Horan *Aren’t* At The Brit Awards

The One Direction singer and former X Factor finalist himself is being widely tipped to replace Nick Grimshaw on the judging panel this year.

One Direction have won Best Video at The Brit Awards – but only two of the band members were there. Niall Horan has been traveling, previously telling EW, “We’ve been to a lot of places in the world over the last five years but never really got to see a lot of them”.

Just moments before grabbing Louis Tomlinson’s manhood on the carpet at the February 24 Brit Awards, he shared a half naked picture of himself on Instagram.

New dad Louis looked dapper with his hair slicked back into a quiff, while rocking a black shirt and grey jacket.

Liam Payne is such a naughty boy! This is my first time away from Freddie so it’s tough. Considering 1D’s single Drag Me Down is up for the Best Video gong, you’d think they’d want to be there.

Don’t expect Harry Styles to make an appearance at tonight’s Brit Awards.

A source said: ‘This could have been one last hurrah for the boys at what could be their last Brit Awards as a band.

“The band still have a massive fanbase and they should clean up in the public vote so they’re hoping it won’t be a wasted trip”.

One Direction is up against Adele’s “Hello”, Ellie Goulding’s “Love Me Like You Do”, Ed Sheeran’s “Photograph” and more for British Artist Video of the Year, according to the BRIT website.
