One Direction got into the spirit of Red Nose Day as they performed for Comic Relief last night (March 15).

The five piece - comprising Harry Styles, Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, Louis Tomlinson and Liam Payne - took to the stage to perform an energetic rendition of 'One Way or Another (Teenage Kicks)' which is the official Red Nose Day single this year.

Styles wore a comical red nose for the occasion, while Tomlinson debuted his newly-dyed red hair.

The rest of the band wore different items of red clothing in honour of the occasion.

Following their turn on the stage, Styles made a plea to the audience and viewers at home, saying: ‘If you are fan of us or not, please just donate anything you can."

Payne also took to Twitter last night to urge people to donate to the charity: "If all of you donate 1 pound that's over 9 million poundss ahh!!!!!!! get on it peeps http://comicrelief.com/donate  1 pound or more if you wish :D Change the mutha f**king world ...that's the power of 1D fans http://comicrelief.com/donate  go there now or your nose will fall off ... True story (sic).

At the end of the night he added: " 75 million raised yayy yuppie woohoo congratuwelldone everyone...that's only so far... http://comicrelief.com/donate  I need to sleep now Good night (sic)."

One Direction also played a show in Manchester last night, with Styles taking to Twitter to personally thank the band's fans who turned out to support them: " Thank you so much Manchester.. Amazing crowd tonight. And to the person eating a kebab during the show. You're my hero (sic)."
