One Direction's Niall Horan Confirms No Current Plans For A One Direction Nickelodeon TV Show

From MTV News USA:

Are One Direction Getting Their Own Nickelodeon Show?

Niall Horan tells MTV News nothing is set in stone, but teases Kids' Choice Awards performance and 'iCarly' appearance.

Now that One Direction are officially taking over the American pop scene, it seems that they are also being embraced by the bigwigs over at Nickelodeon. Having toured with Nickelodeon network stars Big Time Rush, the five lads from the U.K. insist that rumors of their own show on Nick have been greatly exaggerated.

"We've just been doing stuff with Nickelodeon. They've been brilliant to us; they've been really good to us. There's no sign of a TV show," Niall Horan told MTV News. "We haven't heard anything. We're obviously doing the Kids' Choice [Awards] and stuff, but there's no deal been done or anything [for a show]. They're just kind of helping us out, I suppose."

That help includes an appearance on one of the network's biggest shows, "iCarly." "We had a lot of fun doing that. [Nick] put us on an episode of 'iCarly' as a guest appearance. First time we've ever done any acting, by the way, and if it comes out bad, we're very sorry," Horan joked. "But we think it's going to be really fun — it was really fun to make. And all the cast, it was really easy to work with them. They made us feel really comfortable. After a couple of takes, it was quite easy. The fans really reacted to the 'iCarly' thing."

Before that episode airs, the guys will take the stage at the KCAs, airing March 31. It's an honor they aren't taking lightly. "We're gonna be in L.A. for the Kids' Choice Awards. We're doing a big performance with that," he said. "Kids' Choice is the biggest night on Nickelodeon, and all the big stars are going to be there, and when we found out it was just us and Katy Perry performing, we were like, 'Geez, this is a big deal.' "

With so much attention on the small screen here in States, what are their U.S. fans like? "American fans are very, very loud," he said. "Everyone in America is very enthusiastic."

Should One Direction have their own show on Nickelodeon?

1D's Niall Horan denies TV show

One Direction's Niall Horan hasn't heard anything about the band getting their own TV show

One Direction's Niall Horan has batted away claims of an upcoming TV show.
The Brit-winning boyband - Niall, Zayn Malik, Liam Payne, Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson - who are the first UK pop group to debut at number one on the US album chart, were rumoured to be in talks about starring in their own programme with children's channel Nickelodeon.

But the Irish singer insisted: "It's nothing that I know about. There's no sign of a TV show in the pipeline."

However, the 18-year-old was quick to praise the network, adding: "Nickelodeon have been amazing to us. They have helped us out so much while we've been here, and we're performing on the Kids' Choice Awards with Katy Perry."

Nickelodeon seemed to confirm the stories when they tweeted: "The rumours are true, our live-action slate does include a development project for @onedirection. Welcome to the family!"

Niall also had only kind words to say to The Wanted's Max George, who recently dismissed their British boyband rivals as "no competition" when it comes to conquering the US.

"I don't know, it could all be rumours. There's no hard feelings between us and The Wanted," said Niall.

"We've met them, they're super-nice guys. There's room over here for everyone, I suppose."
