It's OFFICIAL: Harry Styles & Caroline Flack are an item

AFTER weeks of speculation fuelled by tantalising Twitter threads, it’s official – Harry “Babyface” Styles and Caroline “Cougar” Flack ARE an item...

The One Direction singer finally confirmed showbiz’s worst kept secret, when he revealed to me that he and 32-year-old Xtra Factor host Caroline are “really happy together”.

There’s nothing concrete going on between Caroline Flack and Harry Styles

They worked together hosting the Xtra Factor this year so it’s safe to assume Olly Murs knows a thing or two about his colleague Caroline Flack, other than how many sugars she takes in her tea.

And of course, the one topic everyone’s interested in right now is what’s actually going on between her and Harry Styles from One Direction.

One Direction's Harry Styles speaks out over Caroline Flack

One Direction singer and all-round cutie pie Harry Styles has thrown a bit of a hissy fit on the popular social networking site Twitter, calling out users who are tweeting abuse online.

We wonder what he might be talking about, exactly? Like most celebrities, the fluffy haired scamp didn’t go into much detail as to what tweets he might be referring to, but we think we get the gist.

Celebs have spoken - Leave Caroline Flack & Harry Styles alone

Dawn Porter is the latest star to encourage the Xtra Factor presenter to have fun with the One Direction heartthrob.

Harry Styles and Caroline Flack’s alleged romance has raised a few eyebrows because of the age gap between the two stars – Harry is 17, Caroline 32.

While Xtra Factor presenter Caroline has received death threats via Twitter from jealous One Direction (Up All Night Album review) fans, others have been quick to defend any notion of romance between the pair.

The latest star to speak out in favour of One love is journalist and TV presenter Dawn Porter.

'My relationship with Harry Styles isn't disgusting' - Caroline Flack

Caroline Flack and Harry Styles have become pretty close recently, after reportedly having a cheeky snog in a hotel a few weeks ago, and have both spoken out about their close friendship.

Turns out Cazza's not having too much of a good time with it though, after One Direction fans and general nasty-folk gave her abuse on Twitter for being friends with Hazza.

"I keep thinking, 'What have I done wrong?' But I haven’t done anything wrong," she told Now magazine.

'What’s hard for me to get my head around is people saying it’s disgusting. I don’t think it is.
"He (Harry) told me, 'Don’t listen to Twitter'. So he became the mature one at that point."

"I feel like I shouldn’t have to worry about what I do. But it’s a social thing that people aren’t accepting of big age gaps."
