Zayn Malik
Congratulations on an amazing year. How’s it been?
“Crazy! This award is a big honour. This year has been incredible, from winning a Brit Award to getting a No.1 album in America.”

Has your girlfriend Perrie helped your confidence? [Zayn is dating Perrie Edwards from Little Mix]
“Yes, I’m a big believer in the motto, ‘Behind every great man there’s a great woman’. And she’s great.” 

What do you do when you’re not winning awards?
“I’m a couch potato. I love to stay in and just watch a DVD with the missus. Or we all go over to Louis’ house and watch X Factor. Perrie is massively into it. That’s what I look forward to most. I like going back home to Bradford and chilling with my mum and dad, and a cup of tea too!”

Harry Styles
Does it annoy you when people say you’re a ladies’ man?
“No. I feel so lucky to be in this position, I’m not entitled to get annoyed. I’m not half as busy as they make me out to be! A lot of the time, the way it’s portrayed is that I only see women in a sexual way. But I grew up with just my mum and sister, so I respect women a lot.”

Do you have a type?
“There's someone I like... but this girl... isn't my 'type’. It’s more about the person. How they act, their body language, if they can laugh at themselves. I find ambition really attractive too – if someone’s good at something they love doing. I want someone who is driven.”

Louis Thomlinson
You’ve been with your girlfriend Eleanor for a year. What do you love about her?
“She studies politics at university and when she sits and talks about that, I find it really attractive. I think it’s important for both of you to have independence. I feel like if she didn’t have that and wasn’t striving for a good career, it’d be weird."

Do you worry about her meeting other men at uni?
“She’s gorgeous, but no, I don’t. We both trust each other – I spend a lot of time out of the country on tour. She often flies out so I see her a lot. I think the key to a good relationship is being best friends too. I spend more time with her and the band than I do with anyone else. She’s really great.

Niall Horan
Are you confident with girls?
“I’m not really a flirt, I just try to be myself. I’ve got loads of good female friends, like Tulisa, but every time I’m pictured with her, people say we’re going out. I don’t really have a type, but for banter she’s brilliant. She loves playing PlayStation. Tulisa is cool as f**k."

What don’t you get about women?
“Why everything is always a game."

Ouch! Tell us who’s the sexiest woman you’ve kissed?
“Katy Perry. It was amazing and very purple – she had purple lipstick on. I don’t think there will ever be anything cooler than kissing her… until I marry her maybe!”

Liam Payne
What’s it like reading about the other guys’ love lives in the papers?
“Most of the time that’s how I find things out! With Harry, everything happens so quickly. Harry is actually quite sec

etive. He tells us some things, but others he keeps secret.”
