One Direction set to star in multi-million pound reality show

London: Boyband One Direction are expected to earn around 3.5 million pounds for a 10-part prime-time ITV series.

Bosses at the network are set to be convinced by the fly-on-the-wall show, which will be a guaranteed ratings hit, reported Daily Star. "Producers have met with the band`s representatives and it`s pretty much a done deal. Details are being ironed out, including budgets and when to film," a source said. According to the series` format, cameras will follow the every move of band members Harry Styles, 19, Louis Tomlinson, 21, and 20-yearolds Zayn Malik, Niall Horan and Liam Payne. The bands` recent documentary movie `This Is Us` proved a huge box office hit and ITV chiefs are hoping for something similar by securing the lads for a ten-week run.
