Channel 4 to air documentary on One Direction fans

UK broadcaster Channel 4 is to show a documentary about fans of One Direction.

The hour-long Cutting Edge program will be called I Heart One Direction and it will look at the band's massive fanbase.

It will also examine how social networking websites have allowed fans to interact with each other and the band members themselves.

Speaking about I Heart One Direction - which is due to be aired this summer - Channel 4 Commissioning Editor Emma Cooper said:

"I am incredibly excited about this Cutting Edge film and proud to call myself a fellow 'Directioner'."

She continued: "It's brilliant to have Daisy Asquith involved who I know will make a young and joyful documentary that will give a voice to the millions of the 1D fans who love and follow them obsessively."

A collage of One Direction fans meanwhile recently made up the background for a poster of the group's upcoming feature film This Is Us.
