Harry Styles on media speculation: "It appears I have 7,000 girlfriends"

One Direction star Harry Styles has given his thoughts on the constant rumours surrounding his love life.

The 18-year-old is regularly linked with a new romance in newspapers and magazines and he told Now that it is becoming "ridiculous".

Styles quickly became tabloid fodder after leaving the X Factor in 2010 but he said that most girls he is rumoured to be dating are actually his friends. The singer said:

"I do have friends - and I'd say that more than 90% of the people I get linked with are my friends. At the moment it appears that I have, like, 7,000 girlfriends. It's just ridiculous. It does get in the way if I like someone. I'll say, 'I like you'. And they'll say, 'But what about this and this?' I have to tell them it's not true. But it gets a bit tiring, too."

Styles added: "[My mum] has stopped asking me now. There have been so many cases when she's asked me things and I've told her things just aren't true. So she just doesn't ask me any more."
