One Direction fans have gone into meltdown after the boyband's Comic Relief single, a cover of Blondie's 'One Way Or Another' was leaked online ahead of its official premiere.

The boys covered Blondie's hit 'One Way Or Another' for Red Nose Day and Comic Relief, but a full version of the song leaked onto YouTube before it was due to be released.

While it has now been removed from YouTube, it has already been picked up and shared on other sites, and fans are still able to listen to it.

Fans are now using Twitter and social networks to urge others not to listen to the song yet, or at least to listen and then to wait and buy it - so as not to ruin the charity aspect of the track.

One fan wrote, "if u listened to the leaked cover of one way or another u should be ashamed," while another said, "Do not illegally download One Way or Another! It's a CHARITY single, make sure your money goes to a good cause, not someone's back pocket!"

And in one of the more extreme messages, another 'Directioner' told fans that if they download it, they will be 'going to hell'.

Band member Louis Tomlinson weighed on, writing on his Twitter account, "I hear the charity single has been leaked. Very sad to see. Don't forget together we are trying to raise money for Comic Relief."

The band will be performing the song for the first time live at the BRIT awards on 20 February.

"We are really excited to be part of Red Nose Day this year," says bandmember Niall Horan.

"We recorded Blondie's 'One Way or Another' and we really want the song to raise lots of money and for people to show their support by going out and buying themselves a copy."
