One Direction's Harry Styles has had his say on the twerking craze.

The raunchy dance move - which sees the hips gyrated - has become something of a fad recently, with Miley Cyrus (pictured below) often indulging in the routine.

Speaking to Moviefone, Styles - who reluctantly twerked for the cameras at this year's Teen Choice awards - stated that he thinks the move sends out the wrong signals for young people. He said:

"I think it's quite inappropriate, especially for the age groups it's aimed at."

Styles added: "I think, you know, it's promoting promiscuity."

Bandmate Liam Payne meanwhile interjected: "It gives you back injuries as well."
