The Irish heartthrob took to Twitter after seeing Shenton - who plays Mitzee Minniver in the Channel 4 soap - on This Morning, where she was being interviewed by Eamonn Holmes and Ruth Langsford about her character's exit storyline.

Speaking of the 25-year old, Horan tweeted: "That girl on @itvthismorning is beautiful!"

After hearing about Niall's message, Holmes later told viewers: "Niall from One Direction has been in touch, commenting on our last guest, saying how striking she was."

Langsford added: "And she's single Niall, I've checked for you! That's all I'm saying!"

Rachel - who bares a striking resemblance to former X Factor judge Cheryl Cole - then posed for a photo with This Morning's Hub presenter Matt Johnson with a message saying "Hello Niall!"

Niall then responded with his own picture for Shenton, writing: "Hello Rachel!!"
