ONE Direction made more than £2.1million last year — even though the group split nearly four years ago.

The lads’ old company’s value soared from just under £5million to more than £7million as money continued to roll in.

The profit for the year actually went up £1million compared with the previous 12 months, when they made £1.1million, accounts show.

It goes to the remaining four members, Harry Styles, Liam Payne, Louis Tomlinson and Niall Horan.

Zayn Malik, who left the band in 2015, is no longer a shareholder so will miss out.

The 1D Media Limited accounts also reveal that the band’s dispute with the taxman is no nearer to being resolved.

They have been hit with a £24.7million demand over their controversial “alphabet” share scheme.

It was set up after Zayn left and allowed for him to share in profits generated when he was in the band.

Three-and-a-half years ago they each took £14million from the company as they stood down as directors.
