One Direction have "£14k phone bills"

The One Direction lads are making the best of their sudden rise to superstardom since The X Factor. 

They've bought some fancy cars and seen some very pretty girls - but apparently they've entered Kanye-levels of lavish wealth this time by running up a whopping £14,000 in phone bills! 

We understand there's five of them, but how they can spend quite that much money on phone bills is beyond us - that's enough dosh to buy a car! Or two cars! The bills were racked up while they were on tour in North America and Australia, and the phone companies aren't just counting calls, but texts, and of course data roaming. 

A source from their record company Syco told The Mirror: "Like most teenagers, the boys are obsessed with all things social media." 

"They're also encouraged to tweet by management to keep them interacting with fans but Niall and Liam in particular got pretty homesick during their travels and regularly called home." Awwww. How could we have guessed it would've been these two to call home the most? 

"When the bills landed on their doormat, the guys were utterly stunned and slightly devastated thinking they'd have to fork out themselves." Too right, we'd have a heart attack if a bill that huge could even fit through our door! 

"In the end they got called in for a meeting and given a lecture on finances, and how to handle their money. It is vital wealth does not go to their heads. Their bills got signed off and the boys will not be making the same mistake again."

Phew!
