It seems that the One Direction boys have been up to their stage tricks once again as Niall Horan reveals his back is “destroyed” after accepting a challenge from bandmate Louis Tomlinson to forward-roll across the stage.

The band were performing the first of a two-night run at Hershey, Pennsylvania’s Hershey Park Stadium when Louis put the challenge to Niall.

Niall was introducing the band’s last song when Louis said: “Before we do it, can I make one request? You can say no, but you’re an idiot if you say no. Can you do roly poly’s all the way from there down please?” Niall obliged to massive cheers of support, visibly struggling at some points.

Today, Niall took to Twitter to reveal the consequences of his gymnastics.

“last night! Louis made me rolly poly the whole way up the stage!” he said. “regretting it! Back is destroyed in scratches and bruises from the stage (sic).”
