Harry Styles was 'in stitches' over his birthday stripper.

The One Direction heart-throb was given the curvy brunette as a gift for his 19th birthday on Friday (03.02.13), and he saw the funny side when the stripper - dressed as a police woman - had forgotten her truncheon

Talking to The Sun newspaper, he admitted: 'It was great. I was in stitches ... The funniest part was that when she finished she said, 'I'm really sorry I couldn't find my truncheon so I had to bring my nunchucks'. That was a bit weird.'

The 'Little Things' hitmaker was celebrating his birthday at The Alibi in Dalston, East London with his friends, and Radio 1 DJ Nick 'Grimmy' Grimshaw set up the surprise.

Harry revealed: 'Grimmy said I had to sit there because he was bringing a cake.

'He started telling everyone to be quiet but I could see the cake in the kitchen and the candles weren't lit, so I was like, 'What's going on?' Then Grimmy said, 'Someone in here is under-age' and I saw a police hat bobbing through the crowd. I was like, 'Oh no!'

'The stripper didn't really say anything, she just began her routine. I have never seen my manager run so quick to cover the CCTV cameras but the pictures got out anyway.'

The pop superstar also revealed his romancing days are over for now, as One Direction prepare for their upcoming world tour which kicks off at London's O2 Arena on 23 February.

He added: 'We have to knuckle down and work hard, make sure we get everything ready so it's a good show. I want to focus on that, not chasing girls.'
