One Direction stars Liam Payne and Louis Tomlinson have had a bit of fun at Justin Bieber's expense on Twitter after joking about his recent name change.

The pair tweeted names such as 'Chisel', 'Zizzla', 'Drizzle' and 'Fizzle' in an apparent swipe at their chart rival.

The One D duo also took time out from recording the new tracks to pull some Bieber-esque poses in a photo that was released online, reports Unreality TV.

Justin changed his name to 'Bizzle' on Instagram last week amid speculation he was about to launch a rap career, however, he later changed it back again.

British rapper Lethal Bizzle claimed this week that he had 'let the Dench gang loose' on Bieber to pressure him to change the name back again.

He told The Sun: "I guess he realised there's only one Bizzle after all."
