Fifth Harmony singer Dinah Jane Hansen says Niall Horan is her favourite member of One Direction.

The girl group have a strong affinity with the boyband, with both acts finding fame through the X Factor franchise.

The two groups spent time together earlier this year in London and it seems Horan made an impression on Hansen.

She told Bang Showbiz: "I would say Niall's like a good homey. He's very chilled.

"We hung out with him and Louis. They're both very cool I would say, super awesome. I love those boys."

Hansen meanwhile also poured cold water on romance speculation linking bandmate Lauren Jauregui and One Direction's Louis Tomlinson.

She said: "But that Lauren and Louis thing it wasn't even anything that serious, but maybe you should ask her."
