Harry Styles is desperate to settle down.

The One Direction singer - who famously romanced older TV presenter Caroline Flack and was recently linked to Natalie Imbruglia - would love to find a long-term girlfriend, according to his best friend Will Sweeney.

He said: 'From what I know of Harry, he's more of a relationship person. He prefers to have a girlfriend. He really likes being in a relationship. He likes that friendship and that bond.'

However, he does admit his pal had a reputation for charming ladies in his hometown of Holmes Chapel, Cheshire, North West England.

He told heat magazine: 'We'd always have a joke and ask, 'Who was that you were talking to?' and he'd just say, 'Oh, no one'.

'I think he's always just got on well with women. Groups of girls warm to him because of his personality and cheeky-chappy style, so we always used to wind him up and just say, 'Classic Styles'. He's really easy to talk to - if you met him in the street, you wouldn't feel intimidated.'
