One Direction members Liam Payne and Harry Styles are worried about their health after getting urinated on by koalas while in Australia.

Liam and Harry both took it in turns to cuddle furry female koala Kat while visiting an animal sanctuary in Brisbane. However they got more than they bargained for after Kat decided to relieve herself all over them.

Most koalas in Australia are infected with the STD chlamydia, and now the 1D boys are worried that they may be carrying it too.

According to The Sun, Payne said: ‘I’m genuinely scared. This is worrying. I’d have never picked the thing up if I’d known.’




Until this point the fivesome had been living it up Down Under, spending their days going surfing and their nights partying hard.

Harry might want to keep his predicament under wraps, after catching the attention of singer Rihanna.

The Rude Boy singer, when shown a photo of the band, said: ‘Harry, yeah. I watch their videos and I remember thinking, “Wow, he’s a star”.’He seems very sure. It seems, like, it’s so natural to him,’ she added to the Daily Mirror.

One Direction have since moved on to New Zealand, where they caused a stir at an airport when crazed fans ran amok trying to track them down.

In fact the boys had caught an earlier flight and were bundled out of the airport to avoid being swamped with hysterical girls.
