Niall Horan and Lewis Capaldi are the best of friends and often leave fans in stitches over their hilarious yet sweet bromance moments.
The two musicians, who have been pals since 2017, treated fans to another wholesome moment yesterday on stage at the BBC Radio 1's Big Weekend.
The One Direction star took to the Dundee stage to perform his new hit single Heaven when the Scottish singing sensation decided to run on and join his pal for a hug. Fans went wild for Niall and Lewis' adorable interaction and many rushed to social media to gush over their iconic friendship.
Here, we take a closer look at the duo's close relationship and how their friendship blossomed over the years.
The beginning of the two stars' friendship dates back to 2017 before Lewis Capaldi achieved international stardom.
Niall first showed his love for Lewis on Twitter as he admitted he was a huge fan of his after his cousin introduced him to his music.
The Slow Hands singer told Glamour during a 2019 interview that he was actually the one that "slid into his DMs" and the pair met for the first time in 2018.
When Niall looked back on the time he first met Lewis, he said: "First time I met him, I just thought he was a lunatic. It was Saint Patrick's Day, we'd a few beers."
Their friendship blossomed from there as Niall continued to frequently publicly support the Scottish singer songwriter online and urged his fans to attend Lewis' concerts.
When Lewis achieved the fastest selling album of 2019 with Divinely Uninspired to a Hellish Extent, Niall took to Twitter to congratulate him on the big win as he wrote: "This absolute king has got the fastest selling album of the year!
"This is a great lad with an incredible amount of talent and I’m so happy for him."
