Singer Liam Payne has given One Direction (1D) fans hope by telling them that the English-Irish pop boy band will definitely get back together.

During a Twitter Question and Answer with his followers on Saturday, he was asked by an eager fan if 1D would ever get back together, reports mirror.co.uk. 

"I'm (100 per cent) certain we will," he tweeted in response.

The boys recently came together to show their support for grieving Louis Tomlinson after his moving "X Factor" performance following his mother's death.

Another user asked if he was happy, and Payne replied saying: "The happiest I could be."

This post comes amid reports that his girlfriend Cheryl Fernandez-Versini is pregnant with their first child. However, he made no direct mention of it.
