The 22-year-old singer has been romantically linked to the former Disney star in recent weeks and has heightened speculation surrounding the status of their relationship during a game of "sleep with, marry, cruise" on the show presented by James Corden.

Asked to choose between Demi Lovato, Selena and Tina Fey, Niall replied: "Sleep with Tina Fey. Let's marry Gomez and go on a cruise with Demi Lovato. Great voice, we could be singing songs."

During the segment, Niall's One Direction band-mate Louis Tomlinson also spoke about the creepy nature of fame.

He shared: "It does get a bit scary when people are close to your house.

"A couple of weeks ago I tweeted 'there's nothing worse than waking up and realising you have no milk for your tea'. Within an hour someone's ringing my bell and this 45-year-old woman comes to my door and goes 'here's the milk'."

Meanwhile, the chart-topping boyband are set to enjoy a break in 2016, and Liam Payne admitted not doing anything is a "scary" prospect.

He said: "It's quite like a scary thing because we haven't stopped for five years.

"But I think more than anything we're going to miss being on stage. We haven't seen our families and my mum and dad are coming to live with me for a bit."
