Niall Horan has admitted that building a pub in the basement of his £10 million west London home was the “worst idea”. The former One Direction singer, 32, purchased the six-bedroom mansion in an affluent celebrity-favourite neighbourhood last year and lives there with his partner, Amelia Woolley.
Speaking on Jimmy Kimmel’s chat show, Horan explained that the pub, which includes a piano, has become a problem because it encourages guests to stay late. “Pubs in London shut at 11pm, there is no 2am finishes and everyone goes, ‘I wonder where we are going next...’ So all of a sudden I have a house full of people,” he said.
Horan has developed a strategy to clear his home after parties: “I do have a side entrance to the house that I can ferry people out the door. I'm pretty good at it, turn the music off and turn the lights off.” When asked if he performs on the piano, he joked: “It's the last thing I need after I've had a few drinks.”
The Irish hitmaker also discussed his health concerns, revealing fears he may need a hip replacement. He told the Zach Sang Show that his father, 66, had a hip replaced 18 months ago and is getting another one done. “The hips are going now too. I think I was just genetically f***ed from the day I was born,” Horan said.
