THEO HORAN IS the one-year-old nephew of One Direction global superstar and Mullingar lad Niall Horan.

The son of Niall’s brother Greg, he already has his own official website, Twitter account, merchandise and personal magazine.

And now, also a modelling contract. Theo has been signed up to Andrea Roche Model Agency, home of Georgia Salpa.

The 16-month-old signed the contract – or whatever you do when you’re 16 months old – yesterday, according to Roche who posted the news on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.

He doesn’t have his own page on the agency’s site yet, but we’re guessing that’s just a matter of time.

Theo was the subject of mild controversy last month when his father Greg’s Twitter account posted a complaint that Niall didn’t visit the baby boy enough.

Greg later said that he was hacked. He wrote: “I’m sick of these lies about me and people talking about me i taught I had friends in directioners hopefully I do big love x x”.

Theo’s magazine, The Lid, is due to bring out its first edition for Christmas shortly. Some of it will be written by fans, with a post on Theo’s website reading:

You know who will be reading this magazine every month. This is the opportunity for members of boy bands to be looking and reading what you have done. This is how you could become famous.
