One Direction 'going to ignite'
X Factor boss Simon Cowell said boy band One Direction are going to be the biggest group since Take That.
He said the five-piece, who were third place runners up in the last X Factor, were "going to ignite big time".
They are due to release their debut single, What Makes You Beautiful, later this month and will perform on ITV1's Red or Black this Saturday.
Cowell said: "You're going to see an explosion happen here the likes of which we haven't seen since Take That and I think that's exciting.
"There is just a buzz in the air. I can feel it at the moment".
Take That were hailed as Britain's biggest boyband in the 1990s, evoking hysteria reminiscent of The Beatles.
They notched up eight number one hits and sold 10 million albums during the 1990s before finally splitting in 1996. They got back together a decade later.
Their recent tour, which saw them reunited with Robbie Williams, was a sell-out success.
