Laura Whitmore has dismissed romance rumours linking herself and Niall Horan.

The Irish TV presenter has regularly been subject of love gossip about herself and the One Direction singer.

However, she told heat magazine that she would never consider dating Horan because he is too young.

She said: "I was never seeing Niall. He's a child. The most embarrassing thing about that is that people thought we were together. I love Niall, he's lovely. But I'm 28. He's a boy. And he kind of looks like my little brother. So, no."

One Direction meanwhile are currently in South America as they take their Where We Are tour around the globe.

The band will later travel to Europe and North America.
