Speaking to the publication, the 'Nice To Meet Ya' singer said: "We were all knackered. I can never really remember any major bust-ups, just brotherly family nagging, s----y arguments like that."

The band, minus Zayn who quit in 2015, announced their hiatus in January 2016 leaving millions of fans heartbroken and eagerly awaiting their reunion to this day.

Niall honestly added: "There was no timeline on the gap. I would have preferred if someone said five years, and it probably will end up something like that."
