One Direction were formed at the bootcamp stage of The X Factor (2004) in 2010 when the judges felt Horan, Louis Tomlinson, Liam Payne, Zayn Malik and Harry Styles were too good to throw away, but not interesting enough to make it as soloists. The decision to put the five boys in the group proved to be popular as they made it to The X Factor final and were the only band to be included on the 2011 X Factor Tour.
