One Direction star single again

One Direction's Harry Styles is single again.

The curly-haired singer was thought to be dating a UK actress called Emily Atack, but his bandmate Louis Tomlinson has revealed the romance is over.

Louis made the admission when discussing how much fun the band – comprising of Harry, Louis, Niall Horan, Zayn Malik and Liam Payne – had when they were in Australia and America recently.

"Do I even need to say who?" he laughed, when asked which member romanced the most girls during the tour.

"I think it would be completely and utterly unfair to single out girls in that way, or put it like that. But... if you were to put it like that, I think it would – possibly – be... Harry. Do we keep a tally? No, we do not! That's hideous.

"No, no... [he's not dating at the moment]."

Louis went on to talk about fellow British boy band The Wanted, who are also doing well in America. Both groups are relatively new and are often pitted against each other.

Louis thinks such talk is silly – as his group is clearly superior.

"I think it is always blown up out of proportion, the way that just because we're two boy bands there's massive rivalry," he is quoted as saying by British newspaper The Mirror.

"But we are hoping that they'll still get on with us. Because, you know, there is potentially a spot on our arena tour for them to support us."
