"The whole album - every song," Chris joked, "It worked with Take That - we did it ten years ago, the first two albums."

Whilst we're not sure Chris was being totally truthful about the album, he was very passionate about a future 1D reunion.

Coldplay's new single 'Orphans' climbed 11 places to Number 8 this week on the UK's biggest chart show. Chris also teased a possible Coldplay tour, saying: "I promise that we want to play live at some point in the future."

It wasn't the only Coldplay song in the Top 10 this week - Doctor Who star Jodie Whittaker's charity cover of 'Yellow' was a huge Re-Entry, jumping back into the chart at Number 5.
