A human pyramid, uncanny goat impressions and a cover of Wheatus’ Teenage Dirtbag. Last night at the LG Arena One Direction gave Birmingham something to scream about.

The deafening squeals started before the boys even took to the stage – such is the super-fan devotion 1D inspire. One girl held her hands up in a heart shape for the entire show, several passed out.

As for ELLE? Did we sit quietly and watch? No, we did not. It’s really very simple – Harry Styles, Zayn Malik, Niall Horan, Louis Tomlinson and Liam Payne put on a brilliant show.

Yes, they might all be far too young to remember Teenage Dirtbag the first time around and their musical legitimacy is questionable but they aint half good on stage. So, what’s a person to do but scream?
