Singer Niall Horan, of One Direction fame, has confessed that he wants to get fit on his band's break next year. 

1D are set to take a hiatus in 2016 and Horan told RTE2fm that he wants to hit the gym because it would be great to get a little more in shape: 

"By the end of next year I'd like to be a low single figures golfer. I'd like to be in some sort of good shape, physically working out – not ripped but better than I am now like."

Horan also briefly touched on Zayn Malik's departure from the boyband, adding that there's definitely no bad blood between them: "Towards the end you could see that he wasn't enjoying it as much as he did, and his heart wasn't in it as much as he wanted it to be. I can't really put a finger on it."
