Nothing says desperation like big-name guest stars in an animated series and they don't come much bigger than One Direction.

The world's most well-known boyband have recorded a cameo for Seth McFarlane's long-running animated series, Family Guy. The series, now in its 14th season, has faltered in recent years due to McFarlane's film commitments and the fact that you can only get so many laughs out of cutaways.

Anyway, it's been reported that Liam Payne and Louis Tomlinson had a recording session with McFarlane, although the scene in question will feature all four members and, strangely enough, Simon Cowell.

The scene features Stewie Griffin telling One Direction a scary story about non-skinny jeans. Hilarious. We can feel our sides splitting already.

As One Direction enters a hiatus in March, it's likely that these sorts of cameos will become much more common. It was rumoured (not really, but go with it) that Niall Horan would enter the Celebrity Big Brother house, however that turned out to be completely untrue. Bookmakers eventually had to close off betting on Horan's appearance as too many people believed it would happen (that really did happen, by the way).

Of course, there was no way Niall Horan would go on Celebrity Big Brother. For one thing, he's an actual celebrity and everybody in the house isn't. So, there's that. Plus, if he's going on ANY reality TV show, it'll be something here in Ireland like Operation: Transformation or Celebrity Bainisteoir.
