Niall Horan, 21, regrets leaving school without any qualifications.

The singer quit his education aged 16 when he shot to fame on The X Factor with One Direction, but admits he would’ve liked to have had more of a childhood by remaining in school.

Writing in the boy band’s latest autobiography, Who We Are, he penned: “My childhood was cut short by The X Factor because One Direction took off and I never got the chance to finish school or do my exams.

“After the first audition, I packed up everything in my life in a bag. I didn’t realise at the time that… that was pretty much me leaving home for good.”

While Niall admits he enjoyed his school days, he wasn’t always a model pupil. He has revealed that he was suspended from the strict Catholic boys school Coláiste­Mhuire in Ireland. - BANG Showbiz
