Lily Allen has told One Direction star Harry Styles to make the most of being famous while he can.

The 'Kiss You' star is currently on the top of the world as his group dominate the worldwide pop scene, with Styles becoming a global heartthrob in the process.

Speaking to the Daily Star, however, Lily Allen - who now goes by her married name of Lily Cooper - warned the singer that the fickle nature of fame could mean that he will be forgotten about in a few years. She said:

"Look at you now, Harry – everybody wants a piece of you. Enjoy it while you can. In a few years no - one will recognise you, like me."

It seems difficult to predict, however, that Styles could disappear from the limelight in the next few years.

Pop star Boy George recently stated that he believes the singer will be the first to jump ship from One Direction and fly solo.
