It’s a scene that may shock, or at the very least titillate, One Direction’s legion of fans around the world. In their new DVD band member Niall Horan is seen kissing himself.

And you might say “hang on this is just a normal fairground with mulled wine everywhere and a bit of tinsel on its head” but that would be cynical and not in the Christmas spirit so shame on you.
