"We give our best on stage every night! And for 1 person to start a rumour! Just messes it all up."

However, it seems the rumour begun after a gif appeared of Niall and bandmate Louis Tomlinson pretending that there was vodka in their water bottles, with the Kiss You hitmaker later explaining that they were NOT drinking alcohol on stage.

Horan then added: "Right I'm goin back t sleep! Rant over! Back to being nialler ! LAZY."
