One Direction are used to being surrounded by hordes of screaming fans – but they’re likely to be surprised by their latest devoted follower.

Actor and writer James Corden, 33, has revealed he’s a big fan of the X Factor 2010 contestants.

‘It’s not fashionable but I like One Direction,’ says James.

‘I just think they’re good!’

And it seems 1D aren’t the only teenage pop stars James has on his MP3 player.

The Gavin & Stacey star isn’t too embarrased to admit he also enjoys blasting out a bit of Justin Bieber.

‘He is ludicrously talented,’ James tells The Independent Magazine.

‘He’s not manufactured, or from a talent show, he’s the real thing, and still everybody hates him.

‘Well, not me: I’m a Belieber.’
