Biography:
Baby-faced and blessed with the kind of curls young girls go crazy over, Harry Styles is the youngest member of The X Factor finalists One Direction. It was Harry himself who came up with that pretty terrible band name apparently.
Born in Cheshire, while studying at Homes Chapel comprehensive school in Holmes Chapel, Harry tried auditioning for the seventh series of The X Factor in 2010. He was unsuccessful as a solo auditionee, but at the recommendation of guest judge Nicole ‘Don’tcha wish your girlfriend was hot like me’ Scherzinger, was teamed up with several other contestants to form One Direction and enter the group category of the show.
His fellow bandmates are Liam Payne from Wolverhampton, Niall Horan from Mullingar in Ireland, Zayn Malik from Bradford and Louis Tomlinson from Doncaster. They are all in their teens, they are all incredibly cute, and their faces are currently plastered all over the walls of teen and tweens up and down the country.
One Direction finished third in The X Factor 2010 and have gone on to sign a whopping £2 million deal with Simon Cowell’s label Syco, release a whole bunch of Number One singles in the UK, including What Makes You Beautiful and Gotta Be You, both taken from their Number One Album, Up All Night.
Harry and the boys recently travelled to the US of A and Australia, and made quite an impression on the locals; getting themselves a Billboard Number One with What Makes You Beautiful.
Harry hit the headlines when it was revealed he was seeing The Xtra Factor's host Caroline Flack, a whopping 16 years his senior. After a number of death threats and mickey takes, Caroline called it a day and the pair are now 'just friends'.
