One Direction have premiered their new Comic Relief single.

The lads have recorded a cover of Blondie's 'One Way Or Another' to raise funds for Red Nose Day, which is taking place this year on March 15.

The group premiered the song on Nick Grimshaw's BBC Radio 1 show this morning (February 15), with Niall Horan undertaking a short interview.

However, the song had already leaked online some weeks before its digital release on February 17 and physical unveiling on February 18.

It prompted derision from band member Louis Tomlinson, with label Syco confirming they would launch an investigation into the leak.

One Direction meanwhile visited local people in Ghana for Comic Relief to see how the charity can help those in need.
