James Corden is about to turn the big four-oh (thats 40 good years on earth) and he plans on doing so with his nearest and dearest in Mexico.

One of these people happens to be none other than former One Direction star Harry Styles.

Okay, seriously now – where was our invite?

The Late Late Show host appeared to kick things off for his milestone birthday as he enjoyed a glass of bubbly in the holiday hotspot Cabo on Friday evening.

He was later joined by the 24-year-old singer who was spotted sporting an line-up of of sombrero hats during their time by the beach.

The dad-of-four was miles away from his usual formal wear for his show and opted for some casual shorts and a tee as he soaked up the Mexican sun.

Harry and James first struck up an unlikely friendship when the singer appeared on X Factor in 2010 where he came third with One Direction.

James even trusted Harry with the job of hosting his show when he and wife Julia Carey, 41, welcomed their third child Charlotte in December 2017.

Harry – who stepped up to the plate with just two and a half hours notice – later revealed to the audience that James and Julia had welcomed their third child, a daughter, half an hour before he went on air.

This is very exciting, he announced.

About half an hour ago James and his wife Jules had a beautiful baby girl. Congratulations.

In fact, I was just at the hospital before I came to fill in, and she looks a lot like James – mainly because James looks like a giant baby.

I want you to know that I of course realise this is James show and this is a one-time only, one-time thing.

Today we welcomed a beautiful baby daughter into the world. Both she and her mother are doing great. We cant stop smiling. Thank you Harry for stepping in to host the show at 2 and a half hours notice! x x x
