Here’s a report from Entertainment.stv.tv.

If the warm welcome One Direction have received in the USA is anything to go by, it looks like the British boyband won’t have any trouble cracking the States.

The cute five-piece arrived earlier in the week – before jetting back to the UK today for a stint on this weekend’s Dancing On Ice – and they have been given an extremely warm welcome.

Harry Styles – who is being lined up as the frontman of the former X Factor group – was the favourite among most of the screaming young girls.

This of course could be to the fact that the curly-haired cutie marked his 18th birthday yesterday, and he was simple receiving celebratory kisses and cuddles.

But the others – Zayn Malik, Niall Horan, Louis Tomlinson and Liam Payne – haven’t been short of attention either.

If things keep up at this rate, it looks like One Direction obsession will take over from Bieber fever, as the US crowds welcome their brand new music heroes!

The boys of course are a huge hit in the UK too, having made their name on X Factor 2010. This Sunday Dancing On Ice viewers will get the chance to see the boys perform their number one hit What Makes You Beautiful, which skating legends Torvill and Dean will perform a special routine along to.

The boys will then return to sing their new hit, One Thing, minus the skaters. It’s sure to be a must-see!
