The boyband took their tour to Manchester last night with behind-the-scenes footage shared throughout the evening by Max George.
In one clip he filmed Tom, who has recently returned from gruelling treatment in Spain, sipping a bottle of Peroni lager before the show.
Max, in mock outrage, is heard saying: "Drinking on the job. Not even gone on yet."
The band have been including Tom in their performances with him seen appearing on a throne on previous nights.

He was shown backstage in a wheelchair in another video posted by Max, for whom the Manchester date is his hometown gig.
Max, 33, told fans: "Just come off guys. Thank you so much. That was so, so special."
Tom has previously appeared with bandmates Jay McGuinness, Siva Kaneswaran, Nathan Sykes and Max on stage for their hit Glad You Came.
He missed the start of the group's Most Wanted greatest hits tour last week to undergo pioneering treatment on his brain cancer in Spain.
