Nicole Scherzinger reveals One Direction secret: 'One of the boys wanted to be a solo star'

'Poison' songstress Nicole Scherzinger has revealed that when she worked on 'The X Factor' with One Direction, one of the lads was hesitant to join the boyband because he originally wanted to pursue a career as a solo singer. 

Speaking to Pop Justice, the beauty explained that Liam Payne was eyeing a path that would lead to solo fame so was unsure if being part of the group, which was put together on the show, was for him:

"When I put the group together, Liam was hesitant about it because he wanted to go solo."

When asked which member she believes would be the first to walk away from the group now in favour of seeking out a solo career, she quickly replied "Harry". 

It was reported earlier this week that bookies Coral has now stopped taking bets on when One Direction will call it quits after a large amount of money was placed on the prospect. Heartthrob Harry Styles was the 2/1 favourite to be the first member to go solo.
