Niall Horan has moved to put One Direction fans’ minds at rest by confirming he is single after being linked to Irish model Zoe Whelan.
The 1D heartthrob, also Irish, was linked to the leggy model after meeting her backstage at one of the band’s gigs.
But during a Q&A with fans on Twitter after his band’s Newcastle concert on Monday night, he decided to put a stop to the rumours when one fan cornered him on the social-networking site.
The fan tweeted: ‘do you have secret girlfriend or is it a rumor bc personally i think u want me idk [sic].’
And refusing to let the tittle-tattle progress any further, 19-year-old Niall simply replied: ‘I don’t!’

It comes a day after Zoe herself was forced to deny the pair are an item.
She put a stop to the gossip on Twitter shortly before deleting her entire account following jealous 1D fans aiming abuse at her on the social-networking site.
‘No, me and Niall are not dating,’ Zoe tweeted. ‘Now I’ve settled the rumours you can all go back to your own lives. Please stop tweeting me rude things.’
The pair were thought to have been ‘secretly seeing’ each other for months.
