Just when we thought that One Direction couldn't possibly climb any higher in the world of showbiz - they've announced the release of their own range of electronic goods. Exciting stuff, eh?
The band are set to join forces with American firm Jazwares to launch headphones, speakers and walkie talkies - which will all be available for sale in the UK, US, Latin America, Ireland and Canada by Autumn.
And it doesn't just stop at headphones and speakers, oh no! Other products in the range will include alarm clocks, boom boxes and wait for it...a karaoke machine, according to Licensing.biz.
Laura Zebersky, Jazwares executive vice president of sales, said: "With more than three million twitter followers and a debut album that has gone gold and platinum across the globe, it's clear that the guys from One Direction are superstars that tween and teen fans can't get enough of."
"We are thrilled to add One Direction to our portfolio, and look forward to developing our programme with the band to bring personal and innovative electronics to their millions of fans."
Jane Kennedy, director of licensing at One Direction's management Modest Management, added: "Both Modest Management and our client One Direction very much look forward to working with Jazwares at this incredibly exciting time."
Meanwhile, One Direction fans and their detractors have kicked off on YouTube over video footage that shows Niall Horan calling fans a "shower of c**ts".
The Irish popstar is seen making the remark in a brief clip uploaded to the site yesterday (July 4). Ohhh dear...
