One Direction star hosts charity football match

One Direction singer Niall Horan welcomed a hoard of celebrities to Leicester City's King Power Stadium on Monday for a charity football match.

Former CNN host Piers Morgan captained the opposing team, which eventually went on to win the match on penalties following a 1-1 draw in normal time.

Comedian John Bishop took part, as did actor James Corden and Horan's bandmates Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson and Liam Payne.

One incident that has made all the headlines occurred off the pitch when Styles pulled Morgan's shorts down while he was watching from the sidelines.

The television host, who is a lifelong Arsenal fan, took the incident lightly by posting a vine video of it on Twitter.
