One Direction star Niall Horan got stuck in a lift at a Brit Awards after-party on Wednesday (February 19).

According to The Mirror, the Irish heartthrob - who attended the ceremony on crutches - found himself trapped in an elevator when trying to leave record label Sony's bash at The Arts Club in London.

The newspaper has obtained footage of the incident, where Niall can be seen looking flustered as his minders frantically tried to call for help.

As well as the Midnight Memoriessinger, seven other party-goers were also stuck in the lift.

A source said: "Security were frantically trying to get the lift working again but the emergency alarm was down and it simply wouldn’t budge.

“Everyone was trapped and getting increasingly hot and bothered. Once it was eventually moving again, the management were very apologetic."

They added: "The lift was briefly closed down while repairs were made.”
