A guy who went to school with One Direction's floppy-haired heartthrob Harry Styles has recalled that he always had girls around him, even from a young age.

William Rogers, 19, explained to the Daily Star newspaper that the 'Kiss You' superstar was popular in the playground at just 6 years old, so it comes as no surprise that he's every inch the ladies' man now:

"I've known him since he was four years old. I know it sounds funny, but even in primary school he always had a few girls on the go. It was rather amusing."

Rogers added: "He just had this unbelievable way with girls all his life, and it looks like none of that has changed. Harry was always the charmer with the little cheeky grin on his face. We're still mates. He's a great guy."
