Liam Payne has MADE Christmas for 1D fans with this ONE tweet

A One Direction reunion looks to be on the cards in 2017.

The band have been dropping hints all throughout 2016 that they would be getting back together, and now Liam has confirmed it – sort of!

Yesterday, Liam invited his 23.6 million followers to an #askliam Twitter chat.

In response to one fan's question as to whether the lads would ever make music as a band again, Liam responded that he was '100 percent certain' they would get back together!

@clairevendi I'm certain that we will

The boys have been focusing on their solo careers of late, so this news was bound to cause a frenzy among the legion of 1D fans.

Indeed, one 'directioner' branded Liam's message 'the most beautiful tweet since forever', while another dedicated fan chimed in with, “This is what I live for”.

It looks like Liam has made someone’s Christmas!
