We might have been squealing about a dog on a tightrope, a magic trick with a lemon, and all sorts of dance and song combos on the BGT final, now it turns out that the One Direction lads were doing the same thing.

Or at least they could have been.

Judge Amanda Holden shared this picture of herself backstage with half of 1D, Niall Horan and Louis Tomlinson.

Amanda called the duo her “prince charmings” in the caption posted on Twitter.

Niall and Louis were among thousands at the Fountain Studios in Wembley for the final of the ITV talent search which saw Jules O’Dwyer and her dog Matisse triumph over magician Jamie Raven and Welsh choir Cor Glanaethwy.

But Amanda wasn’t the only getting pictures with the guys.

Wildcard finalist Jesse Jane McParland, who came eighth, also bagged a pic – but really who would say no to the scary Pink Ninja?

Eventually it was time for them to call it a night.
