Unabashed: Despite the furore over her relationship, Caroline looked cheerful in London this morning


Caroline Flack has defended her relationship with 17-year-old One Direction singer Harry Styles.

Giggling, Caroline told Dan Lobb and Kate Garraway: 'He’s really nice and we have a lot of fun together so what’s wrong with that?'


When Garraway asked her if she was in love. Flack became very embarrassed and nervously laughed off the question.

Put to her that there is a big age gap, Flack replied: 'He's a lot younger than me, which some people say is a bit strange.'

And she quickly returned to the safer subject of the X Factor.

Caroline backed Tulisa's group Little Mix to win and said that the 'turning point' for her was when they performed En Vogue.

'That's when I thought, here's a girls group who can really win' she said.

After much speculation of are they or aren't they, Caroline Flack has broken her silence on toyboy Harry Styles, but still failed to cement whether they are an item.

The presenter previously received death threats on Twitter from diehard One Direction fans, warning her to steer clear of their idol.

But Flack maintains she has done nothing wrong and that people simply 'aren't accepting of big age gaps'.

Tricky question: Dan Lobb let Kate Garraway broach the sensitive subject of Caroline and Harry's relationship


Caroline said in an interview with Now magazine this week: '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.'

'Some people tend to see the negative immediately and that's what I find really strange.'

'If two people like each other and get on, why does anyone else find a negative in it? I know it's human nature for everyone to gossip. But why say it's bad? No one's being hurt at all in anyway. '

Are those for Harry? Caroline was spotted in a London flower shop yesterday


Defending the 15 year age gap between them, she added: '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.'

But Harry has stood by her and been very supportive: 'He told me: "Don’t listen to Twitter.’ He became the mature one at that point. I was like: "I know but it’s still quite hurtful." I try not to say anything back.'

According to The Sun newspaper, 17-year-old Harry arrived the night before at 10pm.

Earlier Caroline had been spotted buying food and wine for what appeared to be a romantic evening in - though Harry is not legally old enough to drink any alcohol.

The pair first sparked speculation of a romance back in October, when they shared a drunken kiss at a party and were caught on camera flirting during the reality series spin-off show broadcast on ITV2.

Floppy-haired Harry was later quizzed about the kiss, which can be seen in the video below, but he fails deny the accusation while quipping that Caroline is 'hot'.

Last month, the pair were seen sharing desserts at a restaurant in St Martin's Lane Hotel, London, before leaving together in the same taxi.

The news may come as a something of a disappointment to Harry's mother Anne who has allegedly told friends she is not keen on the relationship.

A source told Star magazine: 'Anne doesn’t want Harry to end up getting hurt.

'Caroline is a worldly woman, who is never short of male attention. Anne just feels Harry needs to stick to girls his own age and says Caroline should back off!'

Some women are so desperate to have bigger boobs they pay to have them enlarged.

However, the grass isn't always greener, as proven by Xtra Factor presenter Caroline Flack who has bemoaned a family trait that has blighted her life.

The 32-year-old made the admission in an interview with Company magazine which is accompanied by a playful photoshoot.

Love life? The presenter says she prefers to keep her relationships under wraps and refused to reveal whether she is dating Olly Murs


In the shoot Caroline wears a black LBD, with a pair of burgundy wedge heels.

In one shot she plays with a lace glove, stretching it out to obscure most of her face.

Speaking to the magazine about her insecurities, the presenter revealed: 'I think I’m insecure about what every girl is insecure about, looks and stuff like that, but it’s not a big deal.

Bee-bo! Caroline playfully stretches a lace glove across her face


'Also, I think I get insecure about my lack of knowledge or that I’m not worldly wise enough. And I hate my massive boobs.'

Continuing to talk about her body, she told the magazine: 'I have loads of cellulite! And I wish I could take my boobs off sometimes, which is why I wear a sports bra to flatten them down.

Caroline also spoke about her friendship with Olly Murs, which has been the subject of speculation since the couple were apparently spotted getting cosy with one another backstage recently.

She said: 'I just like him so much,’ said Caroline. ‘I’ve worked with a lot of people but Olly and I just clicked.

‘I tried to get him drunk on the plane over to LA for judge’s houses (he doesn’t drink) with a little help from Gary Barlow, but no such luck.’

But she refused to reveal whether the duo were indeed dating one another: ‘I think relationships are the one area you should keep private, because there’s nothing worse than people talking about them. Relationships are bloody hard enough without people prodding them.'

The presenter was left red-faced recently when she had a drunken clinch with 17-year-old One Direction star Harry Styles.

According to a report in the Sunday Mirror, a source claimed: 'You could tell Harry was loving every moment. He was poised ready for quite some time as they were talking, and in the end Caroline didn’t say no.

'They had a big passionate snog and it caused mild hysterics with the group of people they were with. They looked really into each other and left in a cab together, eventually going their separate ways – much to the amusement of the group.'
