Pop heart-throbs One Direction, including Bradford's Zayn Malik, are reportedly cashing in on their success in the US by signing a big-money deal with Pepsi.

The boyband, who have enjoyed massive success in the States since being put together on X Factor , will promote the soft drink in a new advert with several American football stars.

It has been reported they filmed the advert in a New Orleans studio last week.

They follow in the footsteps of other big names including Michael Jack-son, Madonna and David Beckham, who have all appeared in adverts for the drink in the past.
