Caroline Flack talks One Direction’s Harry Styles for first time

We've been wondering just what's going on with One Direction's Harry Styles and Caroline Flack for quite some time. And now the stunning Xtra Factor presenter has talked a bit about the age difference not being an issue, we're wondering if they're heading for relationship-ville?

Speaking to Now magazine, Caroline said: "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. I keep thinking, "What have I done wrong?" But I haven't done anything wrong.

"What's hard for me to get my head around is people saying it's disgusting. I don't think it is."

She went on to say: "Some people tend to see the negative immediately and that's what I find strange. If two people like each other and get on, why does anyone else find a negative in it?"

True, true. But some One Direction fans were less than impressed at the news, with Caroline receiving death threats on Twitter. However, it seems the incident has just brought the pair closer together.

"It's a form of bullying from people who are hiding behind a computer," Caroline said. "I knew they were just a minority of One Direction fans and all very young — it's a kind of fanatical obsession. I can't take it seriously or I'd never come out of my house.'

"He told me, "Don't listen to Twitter". So he became the mature one at that point."

Hmm, seems someone's a bit smitten. Watch this space...
