The X Factor, the show which has made James Arthur, Little Mix, and Olly Murs all famous, has just posted a throwback photo of One Direction and fans can't cope! They might not have won The X Factor back in 2010, but the One Direction boys certainly didn't let that get in their way.

The original five members, Harry Styles, Liam Payne, Louis Tomlinson, Niall Horan and Zayn Malik can all be seen in the throwback photo, posted on The X Factor's official socials, all looking incredibly young!

And, whilst of course this isn't an indication that there will be a reunion with the boys, fans of the band are super excited leaving comments such as, '😍😍😍😍😍, 'LEGENDS', and, '💗 💗💗'.

Now take a look at One Direction through the years:

One Direction auditioning on The X Factor

One Direction formed on The X Factor in 2010. All five members auditioned as individual contestants and were put together as a group by Simon Cowell.

Since leaving The X Factor, the group saw many years of success before Zayn left in 2015 and the remaining four members decided to start a hiatus in 2016. Individually they have all achieved solo success, with Louis now taking the role of a judge on The X Factor.

As most fans know there has been much speculation over whether or not there could be a One Direction reunion in the future, but it looks like they are still just rumours at the moment.

Back in September, Louis revealed in an interview that he wasn't ruling out the idea of a reunion, "We're all just enjoying our time. But for me, there's no way, with a band like One Direction that it's not going to happen again."

The following month, whilst in Australia, Liam Payne then addressed the reunion rumours saying, "I think I have been asked that question more than any other band member. I don’t know why people think I am like the spokesman at the moment. I am like Captain America answering all the questions."

However, he went on to explain that he would love to get back with the boys, but he's cautious saying, "Me personally as me, I would love to get back together at some point. I think when it is all comfortable for everyone else. Rushing these things is how things get messed up."

The X Factor continues this weekend.
