Niall Horan has just returned from Sweden with One Direction

One Direction cutie Niall Horan has tried to strike up a friendship with Demi Lovato on Twitter.

The singer - who's admitted to having a soft spot for the Disney star - this week congratulated the pretty 19-year-old on her new role as a US X Factor judge and couldn't resist making a flirty remark. 

'Congrats @ddlovato ...look after @SimonCowell uncle simon for us,' he Tweeted.

Though Demi's yet to reply, she's named Niall as her 'celebrity crush' in the past.

And of course 18-year-old Niall's cheeky Tweet didn't go unnoticed by his keen-eyed followers.

'@NiallOfficial OMG OMG OMG OMG NEMI!!!!!!!! ASK HER OUT NIALL NOW,' wrote one. 

We think they'd make a great couple.
