Harry Styles admitted that every member of One Direction was struck by emotion when they recently visited Ghana.

The British based boyband made the trip to Accra in the African country as part of Comic Relief's Red Nose Day.

They were pictured in a school full of local children as they did their part for the fundraising charity initiative.

Speaking to the Mirror, singer Harry Styles said that it was near impossible to remain unaffected by what they saw on their trip. He said:

"We all had moments. If you get involved in it and you don't cry you're superhuman. We've seen appeal films before so we thought we knew what it's like, but when you're there and you get the smells, your eyes hurt from the smoke, you cough, you're feeling it all."

The 'Kiss You' star continued: "The crazy thing is, when I went to school, not one person wanted to be there. Yet you go into a school in Ghana and every child loves it."

One Direction meanwhile are set to perform new Comic Relief charity single 'One Way or Another' at this year's BRIT Awards on February 20.
