Harry Styles' mum denies singer is named after paramedic

Harry Styles' mother has dismissed reports circulating that state the One Direction singer was named after a helpful paramedic.

A number of media outlets are running a story with quotes from a 72-year-old grandad called Harry Styles, who believes the singer's mum Anne named her son after him.

The paramedic claims that he helped the lady - who was pregnant at the time - at a pop concert in Birmingham twenty years ago.

She apparently said: "You're quite nice, if it's a boy I'm going to call him Harry."

However, Anne took to Twitter today (April 22) to rubbish the story. She said:

"Never cease to be amazed by the rubbish that gets written!! Utter drivel!! @WalesOnline @Daily_Express #dontbelieveeverythingyouread."
