They would certainly make a good-looking couple and reports suggest that One Direction star Niall Horan and X Factor singer Tamera Foster are getting on like a house on fire.
A close friendship is said to be blossoming between the pair who met last Saturday when the band pre-recorded a performance of their song, Story Of My Life.
The track was played on the live results show on Sunday and Niall, 20, and Tamera, 16, were said to have hit it off when they met backstage.

Just good friends? Tamera Foster and Niall Horan seemed to hit it off when they met backstage at X Factor last week
When quizzed about the friendship, Tamera told the Sunday Mirror:
'Yes Niall and I have been talking in private. He's the most famous person in my phone after Nicole Scherzinger. I hope he fancies me – he’s cool.'
On ITV2's Xtra Factor, it came to light that the pair have been direct messaging each other on Twitter, although Tamera claims that the Irish singer has just been offering advice.

The starlet also kept a promise made to eight-year-old cancer sufferer Stacey Mowle, and introduced her to the band, as she is a hug fan of theirs.
Tamera said: ‘Him and the rest of the band met Stacey and her face lit up when she saw them. She’s a huge fan so it was a dream come true.'
She added: ‘I also watched the boys do a run-through of their songs and Niall and I started messing around in the corridor backstage.'

The singer also told The Mirror: 'I spent most of my time with Niall. He’s really fun and very immature. He asked for my number and we’ve been talking.'
The 1D star is said to have split from singer Ellie Goulding, 26, in September after less than a month together.
Tamera, is also now single after splitting from her beau, Joshante Amihyia last month. She told The Mirror: 'Niall tweeted me when we first met but now we just direct message.'
