One Direction: Insiders brand Louis Tomlinson a ‘sh*t’ and claim the band’s split is all down to a row between him and Harry Styles

In an explosive expose in the Sun newspaper, the truth behind One Direction’s upcoming break has been revealed. As the boys count down the days to their extended break away from the industry,* the Sun* claim there has been tension between the band for years.

“For the making of their last three albums, they never spent any time together in the studio as a band,” an insider told the newspaper.

“That’s quite an extraordinary situation, but their team knew the less time Harry and Louis had to spend together, the better the chances 1D would stay together.”

Now, it’s alleged the band could not stay together because tensions have become so fraught between Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson.

The source added: ““Frankly, Louis is a little s*** who’s managed to annoy a lot of people over the last couple of years. Apart from Harry and Louis, no one knows exactly what caused the falling out.

“But it was very serious and their friendship has never recovered.”

It's thought The* Sun* will publish further claims about the band – who first found fame on* The X Factor* in 2012 – tomorrow.
