NEW YORK, Dec. 26 (UPI) -- One Direction's Niall Horan was shown dancing in his underwear during the band's Christmas special for NBC which aired Tuesday night.

The 21-year-old singer was joined by bandmates Louis Tomlinson, Liam Payne, Zayn Malik and Harry Styles for the network's One Direction: The TV Special, but Horan's tighty-whities surely became the most talked-about moment of the show.
