Caroline Flack: 'I'd get abuse in the street for dating Harry Styles'

TV presenter Caroline Flack has opened up about her brief romance with One Direction's Harry Styles in her new book 'Storm In A C Cup'

In the newly unveiled excerpt, the beauty admits that their relationship was just "a bit of fun" that took a nasty turn when the public found out:

"I already knew he had a crush on me, he'd made it pretty obvious."

"He'd said it in magazines and he'd said it to friends. It was flattering and I found it amusing. He was a kind of cheeky man/boy with a captivating smile who got what he wanted."

Referring to the big age gap between them (they began dating when she was 31 and he was just 17-years-old) Flack added:

"I've never felt that I was much older than Harry anyway. I still feel 18 and probably act that way half the time - all those years in kids' telly probably didn't help. Although it was just a bit of fun we decided it was best to keep it to ourselves, as we were both working for Simon (Cowell). We were both single, we got on well and we had a laugh."

"It began to go wrong when Harry was pictured coming out of my house one morning. And once that was out, it was open season. After that anyone could say anything. In the street people started shouting at me 'paedophile' and 'pervert'. A One Direction fanzine had me as a voodoo doll, with arrows (pins) pointing to bits of my anatomy."
