One Direction heartthrob Harry Styles has reportedly been told by his people to stay single and to cut down on his partying antics.
According to Star magazine, 1D bosses are keen for the boys' relationships to be kept out of the public eye - especially after fans have caused havoc on social-networking sites by targeting any girl linked with the band.
A source told the publication: "Harry feels bad about it. He hates that fact that any girl he is linked to gets such foul abuse.
“But his bosses say that he should simply stay single for the time being to stop it happening. He can’t win!"
School friend Ellis Culcutt was the latest 'love-interest' to be targeted by Harry's army of admirers, with her having to deny rumours of a romance with the 18-year old on Twitter.
She wrote: "Wow, you people are sooo quick to make up rumours! Me & Harry went for coffee together as we haven’t seen each other since last year!
"We’re only good friends and have been since high school. I have a lovely boyfriend called Phil so you can stop spreading rumours about me and Harry dating each other because we absolutely are not!"
Despite 1D bosses urging Harry to stay single, Styles was met by a mystery blonde as he returned to Los Angeles on his own yesterday - with The Metro reporting that the One Thing singer was 'pleased to see' the girl.
The pair were then seen leaving the airport together in a private car, fuelling reports Harry had returned Stateside especially to see the unidentified lady.
