Courteney Cox has shown her gratitude towards Harry Styles for publicly supporting her bid to win a People's Choice award.

The One Direction man took to Twitter in December to show his support for the Friends actress in the Favourite Cable TV Actress category of the awards by saying:

"Vote Courtney Cox. Rule number one...Always vote Courtney Cox."

Ed Sheeran also backed Cox but she ultimately lost out to Pretty Little Liars' Lucy Hale at the awards ceremony earlier this month.

Speaking to Conan O'Brien, the actress said that she was overjoyed to have such big celebrities supporting her:

"It was really nice. Harry Styles tweeted for me and so did Ed Sheeran. He was so sweet to do it, and so was Ed."

Cox added: "Now those are two huge pop stars. I just got to say so much for social media because if I can't win a People's Choice Award with those two tweeting for me. That was it guys. I blew my what, I got nothing, nothing!"
