Directioners, you may want to be sitting down.

In a new, 100-question (!) interview with PopJustice, former 'X Factor' judge Nicole Scherzinger drops not one, but two One Direction bombshells about the band.

When asked which member will be the first to leave the group, the former Pussycat Dolls singer didn't hesitate to respond.

"Harry," she answered. "Even though when I put the group together, Liam was hesitant about it because he wanted to go solo."

Hold the phone! Not only does she predict that Harry will be the first member to go solo, Liam almost wasn't in the band because he wanted to pursue his own career?! We need a second to collect ourselves.

While fans are well aware of the group's three-year contract, Nicole's shocking revelation about the band will only fuel the constant rumors about Harry going solo. And though her surprising confession about Liam may leave 1D fans stunned (although his hesitancy would make sense, considering the guys all were solo before joining the group) everyone can at least breathe a sigh of relief in that department -- because obviously Liam went on to join the band.

Still, Nicole's casual 1D confessions may very well leave Directioners feeling a bit uneasy. But look on the bright side: The group (and the fans!) have a ton to look forward to in 1D Land, including the upcoming North American leg of their Where We Are Tour. And we know how much the guys care about each other -- just look at how they came to Liam's rescue after he hurt himself onstage. You can't break those bonds so easily.
