According to the world of betting Niall Horan could actually become a judge on The X Factor panel. No seriously a bookmaker had to suspend betting on Niall because it might happen.

There are lots of rumours going around that the Irish lad could take a hot seat for the ITV singing competition, there was even one person who bet €200 (£150) that it would happen. Woah.

Boylesports had to stop people from placing bets after a gutsy gambler bet - at 7/1 - in one of their shops in Co Westmeath, Ireland.

    Spokesman for BoyleSports, Liam Glynn, said: "Our shop staff had literally only opened the doors at 9am on Tuesday morning and a punter placed the hefty novelty bet on Niall to become an X Factor judge.

    "Another bet of €50 was also struck within the hour which set alarm bells ringing with our traders.

    "With One Direction in turmoil at the moment and following on from a hefty bet on Niall Horan to leave the band we have had no choice but to suspend all our One Direction and X Factor judge markets as one way or another, Niall’s time in the band may well be coming to an end.”

    This wasn't the first time betting was stopped in the bookies - a huge amount was placed on the One Directioner to leave the band last month.

    The sum of €500 (£350) was not on bet on Mr Horan leaving 1D but the bet was made in his hometown Westmeath.

    Glynn continued: "Our traders had to suspend betting at 11:30am on Monday morning after another large bet was placed on Niall in his native county to be the next member to leave One Direction."
