Harry Styles, Liam Payne, Zayn Malik and Louis Tomlinson had successfully completed their mission before 2014 ended. The mission is to prank one of their bandmates Niall Horan by treating him no longer a part of 1D. This is after rumors spread that he will leave the band.

An insider told Hollywood Life that, "Harry thought it would be funny if he had the whole band act like Niall was out of the band and started talking to him and treating him like he was in the past tense, they ran with it all day."

In December, One Direction member Niall Horan was rumored that he will be leaving his band.

The speculation started on Yahoo UK and Sugar Scape tweets. Yahoo UK created a fire online as its tweet said, "Niall has left One Direction!!" While Sugar Scape said, "BREAKING NEWS: Niall has left one direction."

However, on Dec. 29, 2014, Sugar Scape confirmed that the report is not true via Twitter alongside informing the public that they were hacked. "Just to confirm, Niall is NOT leaving One Direction. We were hacked, innit." Sugar Scape said, on Twitter.
