Liam Payne could be hinting that One Direction are getting back together.
At least that's what fans are questioning after Cheryl's ex-boyfriend posted a snap of the band in a cryptic Instagram post.
Uploading the photo of the band from the beginning of their incredible journey as One Direction, Liam simply captioned the snap "1000 days".
Fans were sent into a frenzy after the post, questioning if it marked the day the band would reunite.
Comments poured in, with one fan writing, "MY HEART JUST STOPPED BEATING".
Another added, "I'M ALMOST IN TEARS RN PLEASE COME BACK".
One follower simply wrote, "are you going to get back together?"
The excitement comes after fans were disappointed to discover that One Direction's merchandise shop was closed down this week.

Zayn quits the band on 25 March. A statement reads: "My life with One Direction has been more than I could ever have imagined. But, after five years, I feel like it is now the right time for me to leave the band. I'd like to apologise to the fans if I've let anyone down, but I have to do what feels right in my heart."
And a million Directioners' hearts break.
The online store closed down on the band's website, leading to suspicions that their so-called 'hiatus' really meant the end of the band for good, and fans were not happy.
A Twitter user wrote, "The official one direction store got taken down. This is it, this is the end".
Another added, "I just woke up and i saw that the One Direction store got taken down. Is it over? Is this a nightmare? if it is then somebody please wake me up".
Others have taken Liam's unusual Instagram post to be a reference to the length of time that has passed since the band were all together.
The band members went their separate ways back in January 2016, with the aim of pursuing their individual projects.
While Zayn Malik was the first to release solo material after leaving the band, Niall Horan, Louis Tomlinson, Harry Styles and Liam followed suit.
Sorry Directioners. It looks like they're not coming back anytime soon!
