Heart throbs One Direction took to Newcastle United’s training ground with their football stars today when they paid a visit to the Premier League team.

With a busy week ahead, the team have back to back training sessions booked up. But there's no better excuse for them to take a break from training than to catch up with the mega hit boy band.

The visit comes ahead of a stint at Newcastle’s Metro Arena where the pop heroes will play their final night of a series of concerts.

One Direction met the Newcastle United players before they got back to their routine training session.

With their tenuous X Factor link the band and team must have had a lot to talk about. One Direction were finalists on the programme, while United right back Danny Simpson is dating judge Tulisa Contostavlos.

The visit seemed to be a success since Danny posted a photo of Harry Styles posing topless, showing off his tattoos calling him a 'proper safe guy'.

After having a bit of fun the team now have to focus on playing Benfica in the Europa Cup and then face local rivals Sunderland on Sunday.
