Proving they are already getting used to the limelight, the trio posed up a storm on the red carpet before mingling with the likes of Kelly Brook, Fearne Cotton, Davina McCall, Tulisa and now-established X Factor alumni Ella Henderson and Little Mix. 
Lauren's break-up announcement comes just two months after she revealed she deleted Niall's number after reports began to spread that they had sparked up a secret friendship.
She told Now magazine: ‘I don't [have it] any more. After the story came out I thought it best to delete it.
'I met him through my best friend Eve. She's a photographer and so is her dad - they do a lot of work with One Direction.'
