Harry Styles’ childhood pal Will Sweeny has admitted that he and the One Direction star used to ‘act like complete idiots in public.’

The boyband singer’s former bandmate told The Sun that they often used to enjoy causing chaos, particularly in supermarkets:

“We’d act like complete idiots in public. Harry would go into Tesco, pretend he had Tourette’s and walk around screaming and shouting.

“We’d throw things at each other, we’d just create chaos and a bit of a mess. We were told off by security and customers. We played this game where you pick something up and launch it over your head without knowing where the other person is — and they’ve got to try to catch it. We grabbed all sorts — bread, sauces — and Harry dropped stuff everywhere.”

Sweeny, who last month also claimed that Styles isn’t the womaniser the press report him to be, went on to add:

“Harry and I got told off at Waitrose once because we were screaming ‘Bogies!’ as loud as we could. We would each scream ‘Bogies!’ louder than the other person, we would shriek until we were blue in the face.

“Harry loved it. He was always up for fun, wacky things, having a laugh, and he never cared what people thought.”
