ONE Direction are certainly getting more than their five a day. Because the boy band are being besieged by root vegetables while touring with The X Factor finalists.
The lucky boys have an army of devoted female fans who pelt them with carrots adorned with little faces and their telephone numbers.
When we quizzed the band, Harry just said: “It’s the craziest.” Which didn’t explain much. So Niall chipped in: “There was a bit of a joke going on. We were once asked what kind of things we like in girls. Louis said he likes girls who like carrots. And ever since then we just get carrots sent to us.”
Hmm. At least they’ll be able to see in the dark. Last night, Liam Payne took a back seat, only singing backing vocals after losing his voice.
