After weeks of speculation, ITV has finally confirmed that One Direction will perform during the final of this year's X Factor.
The band will join fellow Brits Coldplay who were announced as performers last month. Another act rumoured to play is singer Adele.
The final, which airs over the weekend of December 12-13, will take place at Wembley Stadium.
One Direction recently announced that the next single to be taken from their chart-topping album Made In The AM will be 'Infinity' - potentially the band's final before going on their highly-publicised 2016 hiatus.
Meanwhile, ex-member Zayn Malik has teased debut solo track 'Befour' which will be taken from his as-of-yet untitled album.
The 12th series of The X Factor has seen ratings drastically plummet since its return in August despite a drastic format shake-up.
One Direction finished third in the TV contest back in 2007.
17-year-old singer Louisa Johnson is favourite to win this year's series.
