5. He has a good heart. He took part in the ice bucket challenge for charity, whilst giving us another opportunity to check out his hotness

6.  He can play the guitar.  Ahhhhh … picture the scene… Niall gazing into our eyes as he strums the chords to, and sings along to ‘Little Things’………Aaaaannnnd back to reality. #WeCanDream
