One Direction are in talks to star in their own reality show, we can exclusively reveal.

The world's biggest boyband are set to meet with Simon Cowell in the next few weeks to discuss the possibility of a fly-on-the-wall show.

Cowell said: "I think there's something in the works, a possible TV show."

Speaking to the Mirror exclusively at the London auditions of Britain's Got Talent today he continued: "We're going to talk about that in the next couple of weeks. They're always busy these guys."

The 54-year-old music manager also confirmed 1D will release their fourth studio album this year, following the success of last year's Midnight Memories.

He added: "The important thing is they've got a new album out this year."

The teen heartthrobs are nominated for four accolades at next week's prestigious BRIT Awards but Simon insists he isn't concerned about his acts being snubbed by the voting body, who in the past haven't recognised his best-selling artists such as Leona Lewis and Little Mix.

He explained: "It means more to them than it does to me, but I hope they pick up a few.

"Honest to God, all I'm interested in is record sales. It's nice to get an award but if you don't, you don't. I don't lose any sleep over it."
