Up and away! Niall Horan gives Irish singer a ‘lift’ back to Dublin

by

After nine months out of the country, Niall Horan arrived back to Ireland last night… with a special guest in tow.

The One Direction star was flying home by private jet (as you do), and he very kindly gave a "lift" to Dublin native Gavin James.

"Cheers for the lift back to Dublin buddaaaaay!" Gavin wrote on Twitter alongside a picture of the pair grinning from their seats.

"My head was TOO large for that plane … legend x"

Niall himself tweeted earlier this week about his long-anticipated trip home, saying it would be his first visit this year.

"Haven't been home since Christmas.. So I'm looking forward to getting home this week to see the fam and the lads," he wrote on Sunday night.

One Direction have had a hectic year, with concerts across Asia, Australia, America and Europe as part of their On The Run Tour. 

There are still dates to come in the UK and Ireland, including three sold-out nights in Dublin's 3Arena starting from tomorrow October 16.

Gavin James might have accompanied Niall home, but it'll be Ed Sheeran's protegé Jamie Lawson who supports the lads for their Dublin gigs.

Hopefully we'll be seeing more of Mullingar man Niall in Ireland over the next 12 months, as the band have confirmed they'll be taking a hiatus in 2016 following the shock departure of Zayn Malik in March of this year.
