One Direction star Niall Horan have apparently said that they're looking to take a prolonged break in the future and then reunite - just like Take That.

The British boyband are currently riding a wave of global success and are due to release their sophomore album 'Take Me Home' on November 12.

However, in what British newspaper The Mirror calls an exclusive interview, Horan said that group want to emulate Take That's recent resurgence by quitting for "ten years" before coming back better than ever. He is reported to have said:

"We want to be like Take That or Gary Barlow – take ten years out and then come back."

The comment comes a day after One Direction released a lyric video for their new single 'Little Things', which was written by Ed Sheeran.
