It seems like FOR EVAH since the gorge One Direction boys auditioned for The X Factor, but here you go – a fresh-faced Niall steps onto THAT stage for the first time…

Awww… HOW cute does Harry look belting out a tune at his first X Factor audition? We have a crussssshhhh…

Liam gives it some soul during his turn on The X Factor stage. So. Gorge.

This is the exact moment the glorious One Direction was born! Ay-to-the-mazing.

At Simon’s Judges’ House, our boys showed just how well they bonded and what serious potential they have… 

AAAAHHH!!! The One D boys find out they’re through to the Live Shows – we couldn’t be happier…

This is the very first Live Show, and already our One Direction babes look like the pop princes they would eventually become… HAWT!

Rockin’ it all the way to the final, the One D lads got to duet with the equally fab Robbie Williams. 

And there you have it – One Direction debut their first single, the amazing What Makes You Beautiful.
