So, the 1D lads WERE there for Louis after his X Factor appearance

Never before seen footage has emerged of One Direction reuniting after Louis Tomlinson's performance on The X Factor last December.

Just three days after Louis' mam passed away, the singer performed Just Hold On to honour his late mother.

Many speculated that Harry, Liam and Niall would show up, and since we didn't know any better, we thought they were a no-show.

However, a short video has emerged which shows the lads all together again after Louis' performance.

In the 3-second clip, Liam is seen hugging Louis, as Niall and Harry stand beside them.

We're sure their support meant to world to Louis, and we're delighted to see the lads all back together again.
