Boyband One Direction are currently on set at a "secret location" to take pictures that will be for their upcoming brand new studio album.

The heartthrobs took to their official Twitter page earlier this afternoon (July 11) and explained that floppy-haired member Harry Styles had recorded an exclusive message from the shoot for their devoted followers.

In the short audio clip, Styles reveals the group's excitement at working on this new project and he says:

"Hi, it's Harry! We're on the set for our next album shoot at a secret location and the boys are getting ready. And hopefully you guys will see it soon and hopefully you'll like it!"

Louis Tomlinson returned to the frequently visited Twitter page later on and thanked Directioners for their amazing online support: "Just noticed we have reached 5m followers. Amazing, thank you so much!! Louis :) x"
