Father of Harry Styles: 'Someone hit him in the crotch with a cuddly toy - I felt his pain!'

Des Styles, the father of One Direction heartthrob Harry Styles, has revealed that he winced after watching his son get struck in the groin with a keepsake thrown onto the stage during one of the band's recent concerts. 

Writing on his official Twitter page earlier today (May 4), he explained that the toy hurled in his direction by a fan hit him straight in the "man's front area" and he felt sorry for his son because he knows it must have hurt:

"Felt H's pain as he was hit in the mans front area by a cuddly toy thrown at the stage! Also felt pain at OT today as United lost again! X"

Des returned to the social networking site shortly after sharing the aforementioned post and revealed that he heard about the recent incident during the band's Peru date, where almost 50 fans were treated by medics for the beginning stages of asphyxia: 

"Just seen on 1D news on Google that fans were crushed and injured at the concert in Peru. Best wishes to all and hope they're all ok. X"
