Speaking to Rob Howard - who's filling in for Roman Kemp as he prepares for I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! - Simon said "My gut feeling is that I do think [a reunion] will happen.

"Even if it was a one-of event for something, it's just too big of an opportunity to not do," he continued.

Speaking of One Direction's solo work, Simon said all of the boys are doing brilliantly, and that he respects them all individually.
