After two days of waiting outside Wellington’s Intercontinental Hotel, One Direction fans were finally rewarded when the boy band came out to see them.
Hundreds of school girls have mobbed the front of the hotel since One Direction’s arrival on Sunday and it was those who persevered who were able to get a brief glimpse of the band.
3 News had the only camera outside when Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, Liam Payne, Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson came out of the hotel lobby and into a waiting van.
The screams were deafening, the hysteria was overwhelming and there were plenty of tears as the ‘directioners’ snuck a peek at the centre of their obsession.
It is not known where the band is headed next, although Queenstown has been rumoured as their next destination.
