One Direction 2012: Fan poses as Louis Tomlinson’s girlfriend Eleanor Calder but he knows the difference – Win a VIP Trip to meet 1D!
One Direction fans have proved that they are not only persistent, but that they are smart too, as one girl managed to get past tight security to get to the band, by convincing a guard that she was the girlfriend of Louis Tomlinson at a gig in Houston, Texas, according to the Sun newspaper.
The fan posed as Eleanor Calder by copying the student’s outfit and hairstyle and was apparently so convincing she actually had other fans, lovingly referred to as Directioners, fooled into believing the elaborate hoax too!
A source at the gig, part of the British boy band’s sell-out US tour, told the newspaper: “Fans outside the gig believed this girl was Eleanor and started hounding her about Louis and asking for her autograph.
However, despite fooling the guards in the first part of the plan, we don’t think she had thought out what to do after that as she was taken straight to her alleged boyfriend who, thankfully for Eleanor, pointed out that he did not know this girl (and please could you move the crazed fan away from me).
The source continued: “Security saw the commotion and took her inside the venue to present to Louis, who obviously told them it wasn’t her.”
Meanwhile, it was announced yesterday that One Direction – Louis Tomlinson, Niall Horan, Harry Styles, Zayn Malik and Liam Payne, will host a high-flying dinner date and will act as cabin crew on a British Airways jet for Comic Relief and fans can win tickets for the flight.
The flight will be given the number BA1D, and at least half of the proceeds from the text-to-win competition will go to Comic Relief.
There will be eight winners who will be able to take two guests on the hour-long flight, enjoy lunch on board, chat with the band and have photographs taken with them. The flight plan is a closely guarded secret and winners will be met in central London and taken to an undisclosed airport to board the aircraft. They will be taken back to the meeting point after the flight.
At least one passenger in the group must be 18 years of age or older. The competition will be launched on the British Airways and is available on the One Direction Facebook pages now, click here for more info.

Hi! I am fifteen years old and from New Hampshire in the United States. I am also a singer. I sing at local sporting events and I am involved in the drama club at school. If I were given the chance to meet One Direction, I would fly to London at my own expense. I look up to them. Their songs make me so happy and I would love to show them my talent. I would be so appreciative if I won this competition because I am not that lucky (: I am not a crazy fan, I just admire them and I love all the boys. Thank you!
Hi, I am 12 and I live in PA in the beautiful country of the United States. I absolutey LOVE singing I wish that I could do more with it but unfortunately I can’t. Although in a year or two I hope to go on either the X-Factor or America’s Got Talent. If I were to win I think that would honestly be a once in a lifetime chance for me. Mostly because I really admire them for who they are, not just because they are famous. I believe their songs are truly amazing I love them. On a day when life is just horrible I go to my room and I listen to them and my day gets 100% better. I mean I am I big fan but not the kind that would stalk them in public. I would probably just ask for a pic or an autograph and then leave them alone. I think it is rude to find them and not leave them alone on their downtime and not leave them alone when they rarely get time alone at all. I love Niall, Harry, Zayn, Liam, and Louis. Meaning all of them. Thank you for readin this anyways!
