1D Boys Hold up Flight

The One Direction boys reportedly held up their flight to LA because they were too busy shopping in duty free.

The group, who are in America to support Big Time Rush on tour, landed at Heathrow from Belfast and headed straight to duty free to bag some bargains to see them through their transatlantic flight.

A source said that they seemed “oblivious” to the fuss being caused by passengers and officials.

Once the boys touched down across the pond they were welcomed by the familiar One Direction mania, despite being relatively unknown.

Harry Styles later tweeted: “Sorry that we couldn’t stop at LAX guys... the US Marshalls said it wasn’t safe. We all wanted to come see you.”
