Niall Horan has apologised to fans for not making it to The Graham Norton Show this week.
The former One Direction star was due to join Graham's virtual sofa alongside Killing Eve's Sandra Oh on Friday evening (May 8), but he was feeling too poorly.
Niall wrote on Twitter: "sorry I couldn’t make an appearance on @grahnort guys. The show is shot during the week and I was too ill to get involved. If Graham will have me back, i’ll get on again soon."

Graham confirmed there was a spot on his sofa (or virtual one depending on how things go) for next time, he replied: "Welcome anytime sir! Glad you are feeling better! G x."
Niall was due to give a home performance of his latest single 'Black and White' and would no doubt have been grilled on those One Direction reunion rumours too, so we'll have to wait a little longer to find out more about those.

"Our three-way FaceTime went really well," Liam joked, while Niall replied: "I mean, it's so funny. We can never get anyone together even though we're all doing nothing."
"Even though I know for a fact Louis [is] just sitting home smoking cigarettes and drinking beers. I was doing the same yesterday."
You mean to tell us that they're not having Zoom lockdown quizzes and virtual after work drinks together like the rest of us?
The Graham Norton Show airs on Fridays at 10.35pm on BBC One
