LOUIS Tomlinson said he felt nervous ahead of today's Soccer Aid game where he will play alongside Sam Thompson.
One Direction star Louis is now dating Sam's ex, Zara McDermott and was spotted hovering behind the singer as he gave an interview.
The lads had already crossed paths on Thursday at training for this year's charity match for Unicef and seemed to harbor no hard feelings.
But then things got awkward when the former Made In Chelsea star was hanging out behind Louis as he gave a radio interview to Talk Sport.
Louis said playing in Soccer Aid was an "an incredible opportunity to play with some amazing players and do it all for an amazing cause."
He also admitted that despite his years playing live concerts in front of millions of people during his years in One Direction and playing at other football charity games, he was still nervous for today's match.
"I used to play in charity games a little bit more often when I was a bit younger and there's no comparison," he began.
"Don't get me wrong I get really nervous doing a gig but that's my job, so to speak, but every football fan… you want to be decent, so you put that pressure on yourself."
While chatting to the radio hosts, Sam could be seen behind Louis chatting to support staff in an awkward moment.
While Sam might not have realised he was in the shot behind Louis' interview, the pair did have a jovial action the day before while training.
Sam, 32, was spotted smiling as he looked over at Louis, 33, as they got to work on the pitch.
Standing close by the lads appeared to exchanged a few words as they donned their kit for the first time.
The pair are both on the same England team and were in good spirits as they arrived at Old Trafford in Manchester.
Louis, who has been dating Zara since April, had a huge grin on his face as he made his way to the football ground.
Last month, Sam was left squirming as he was grilled about playing football with Louis by his best mate, Pete Wicks.
Speaking on their podcast Staying Relevant, Pete said: "How are you feeling? You're playing again. Must be really exciting."
He then added with a grin: "How do you feel about the line-up? Do you think you've got a strong team?"
Sam awkwardly laughed and replied: "Got a really strong team."
Last week, Sam – who split with Zara after five years in December – completed a gruelling 260-mile endurance challenge for Soccer Aid.
He ran and cycled from Stamford Bridge in London to Old Trafford to deliver the Soccer Aid football.
Despite his obvious heartbreak over his split with former Love Island star Zara, Sam has reportedly said there are "no hard feelings" between him and singer Louis.
