Danny O'Donoghue has told One Direction to stay together.

The 'Steal My Girl' hitmakers are constantly the subject of split speculation.

It has intensified recently following the release of new album 'FOUR', with Zayn Malik's happiness often the target of gossip.

Speaking to the Daily Star, The Script's O'Donoghue advised the group to stick it out.

He said: "If I was advising them I would tell them to stick together as long as possible. It should be the band against the world.

"You have to stick together, protect each other and look after each other. Maybe they need an extended break but I wouldn’t advise them to split."
