Niall Horan: I’d date fan

Niall Horan thinks dating a fan would be a "bonus".

The 20-year-old heartthrob and his bandmate Harry Styles are the last two single members of One Direction.

Zayn Malik is engaged to Little Mix singer Perrie Edwards, while Louis Tomlinson is dating Eleanor Calder and Liam Payne is in a relationship with Sophia Smith.

When asked whether he would consider striking up a romance with a female admirer Niall was happy to confirm he liked the idea.

"Of course. If they're a fan it's a bonus, I guess," he told British newspaper The Mirror.

The Irish star has yet to meet his dream woman. However, he is happy to remain patient when it comes to finding love.

"I'm waiting for her to come around," he added.

Niall has no shortage of female attention. Earlier this week he begged his followers on Twitter to give him space ahead of the band's Good Morning America appearance.

"Please girls , I gotta be up in literally a few hours for GMA. Please stop calling my room! (sic)" Niall pleaded to his 15.8 million fans.

The blonde hunk has previously opened up about what he looks for in a partner. He hopes to find a girlfriend who accepts him for who he is rather than his celebrity status.

"You have to find the one who... just sees you as a normal person, which is exactly what I am, and just like you for who you are and not because I'm in One Direction," he explained.
