One Direction's Harry Styles "couldn't stop smiling" as the best man at his mother's wedding

Styles was the best man at his mother's wedding

Anne Cox married Robin Twist this weekend and the One Direction heart throb barely "left" his mother's side at the ceremony in Cheshire, England.

A guest told the Sunday Mirror newspaper: "Harry couldn't stop smiling. He hardly left his mum's side and she looked really proud of him. He sipped champagne and talked to everyone."

The 19-year-old pop superstar and Robin wore matching black lounge suits, while Anne was seen in an ivory, floor-length silk dress.

The ceremony - held for 42 family and friends - was kept a secret with guests only told at the last minute.

An insider revealed: "They chose the medium-priced wedding package. It was a lovely day."

Harry was joined by second best man Mike - Robin's son from a previous relationship - while his sister Gemma, 20, was maid of honor.

His new stepfather helped raise the 'Little Things' hitmaker from the age of seven following Anne's split from his biological father.

In the past, Harry has described his mother as one of his closest friends and admitted only she has been told about his love live.

He has admitted: "She knows the truth."

One Direction's movie to examine fans reactions to hearing their music

Poster for "This is Us"

Director Morgan Spurlock - who is helming the documentary 'This Is Us' about the British boy band - was keen to explore "why" certain people were so obsessed with the 'Little Things' hitmakers, and even interviewed medical experts for their opinions.

He told the New York Post newspaper: "We ask the question 'Why them?' We talked to this one doctor who tells us what happens inside a girl's body when she hears One Direction - like what happens in her brain and what goes on inside of her."

As well as exploring fans emotions, the 3D movie will also feature scenes of group hunk Harry Styles shirtless and Spurlock even filmed the five guys using the bathroom at the BRIT Awards earlier this year.

However, it is unlikely that Taylor Swift will appear in the film after Harry - who is joined in the band by Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, Liam Payne and Louis Tomlinson - reportedly ordered all footage featuring his ex-girlfriend to be removed.

A source said recently: "During their relationship producers shot Taylor and Harry in Los Angeles and New York City but Harry has ordered that none of it makes the cut. He wants nothing more to do with Taylor, she was a fling and they're done."

One Direction’s Harry Styles got another tattoo to celebrate his 19th birthday

Styles' newest tattoo

The One Direction star - who is believed to have more than 30 inkings on his body - got large image of a black butterfly on his torso, which was revealed by his tattoo artist Liam Sparkes via his Flickr page just a few days before his birthday on February 1.

While Harry's face cannot be seen in the picture, the other tattoos on his body made it easy for fans to identify him and according to the MailOnline.com the 'Kiss You' singer showed off a glimmer of the artistic marking through a gap in his shirt at his birthday bash in London.

The British heartthrob has yet to comment on his tattoo but his mother Anne Cox was previously said to be worried that his obsession with them has gotten "out of hand".

A source said: "Harry's mum is worried his tattoo collection is getting out of hand.

"She thinks he's getting addicted to sitting in the artist's chair.

"She's concerned about the lasting effects of the scribbles all over his body and thinks he could live to regret some of them.

"Harry loves the Japanese symbols. He's determined to have Japanese calligraphy on him.
"It wouldn't surprise me if he gets it done sneakily."

The group's mentor Simon Cowell has also urged the pop star to give his tattoo habit a rest after he got inked more than 30 times in the last 12 months.

Harry's other tattoos include a ship, a shamrock, place names, his sister Gemma's name in Hebrew, a heart and a pair of birds on his upper chest.

One Direction's Harry Styles was 'in stitches' over his birthday stripper

Harry Styles and his birthday stripper!

Not sure how the Directioners are going to respond to this one! For his 19th birthday on Friday, One Direction's Harry Styles was presented with a female stripper dressed as a policewoman to help with the celebrations.

Talking to The Sun newspaper, Styles said: "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."

Styles 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."

One Direction's mums disapprove of their tattoos

One Direction

The 'Kiss You' hitmakers - Zayn Malik, Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson, Liam Payne and Niall Horan - are fans of getting inked and while their fans enjoy looking at their quirky designs, their mothers aren't so keen on the idea of their boys going under the needle.

Speaking on UK TV show 'Daybreak', Liam said: "My mum went crazy about the whole tattoo idea."
Zayn added: "Simon [Cowell] hasn't said anything but our mums have been like, 'Maybe you're getting a bit too much'."

Although the group know they will never be able to change their mums minds on tattoos, they do love the support they receive when their family attend their concerts - even if their antics are "embarrassing".

When asked whether they planned to invite their mums up on stage during their show on Mother's Day Louis joked: "Our mums would absolutely poo themselves if we brought them on stage. My mum wouldn't know what to do."

Zayn added: "It's nice it's really nice just to like look out and see your family, however embarrassing they're being, even if they're on the chair dancing like it's just cool."

Liam's mum is so proud that she still can't get her head around her son's fame, as he revealed: "My mum just cries the whole time, my mum literally has not stopped crying for the past two and a half years."

The heartthrobs may have experienced global success with their music, but they also have their sights set further afield.

Louis and Harry both gushed: "I'd love to go into space."

One Direction's Taylor Swift and Harry Styles “want nothing to do with each other”

Harry Styles and Taylor Swift are sick of arguing

 The 'I Knew You Were Trouble' singer split from the One Direction star following a huge argument while on holiday in the British Virgin Islands late last month and the pair don't even want to remain friends.

A friend of Taylor's told HollywoodLife: “Concerning her and Harry, they don’t talk to each other at all. The relationship is as over as possible. They want nothing to do with each other.”

Taylor, 23, is also reportedly embarrassed about her string of failed relationships with celebrities including Taylor Lautner, Joe Jonas, Jake Gyllenhaal and John Mayer.

A source said: ”She is embarrassed over how people are reacting to her and her relationships but honestly believes it has been the guys fault every time. She feels as though she really has to tread lightly and not date someone seriously for a while so people will forget her track record.”

It was previously claimed the country music star was also allegedly devastated after being dissed by Tina Fey at the Golden Globe Awards on January 13, who made a joke out of her love life and told her to stay away from Michael J. Fox's son Sam, 23.

An insider said: "Taylor thought Tina's taunt was a low blow, and she bawled herself to sleep that night.

"That's when it hit her that she has such a horrible reputation, it could affect her professionally.

"It breaks her heart to be made fun of so publicly, especially because her fans are starting to join in on the backlash. But she's putting herself in this position by dating so many high-profile guys and writing about them afterwards."

The 'I Knew You Were Trouble' singer - who split from the One Direction star after they had a huge argument while on holiday in the British Virgin Islands late last month - has been trying to put on a brave face but is still extremely upset and "has been crying nonstop".

A source close to the 23-year-old singer told Star magazine: "She can't snap out of it. Taylor is putting on a brave face to the public, but she is a complete mess. Taylor has been crying nonstop."

The country music star was also allegedly devastated after being dissed by Tina Fey at the Golden Globe Awards on January 13, who made a joke out of her love life and told her to stay away from Michael J. Fox's son Sam, 23.

The source said: "Taylor thought Tina's taunt was a low blow, and she bawled herself to sleep that night.

"It breaks her heart to be made fun of so publicly, especially because her fans are starting to join in on the backlash. But she's putting herself in this position by dating so many high-profile guys and writing about them afterward."

Taylor - who has previously dated Conor Kennedy, Taylor Lautner, Jake Gyllenhaal and John Mayer - made a point of avoiding Harry at the NRJ Awards in Cannes, France last Saturday night by delaying her arrival by 25 minutes to avoid an awkward run-in.

A source said: "It was very carefully timed so they didn't do the carpet at the same time.

"Taylor didn't do any backstage interviews and didn't use a dressing room - she changed at the hotel because she didn't want to see Harry at any point. ...Things were timed to keep them apart and for it to not become a big media circus."

Taylor Swift plots to avoid ex Harry Styles at NRJ Awards in Cannes

Taylor Swift at the NRJ Awards

Pop princess Taylor Swift reportedly tried to avoid an awkward run-in with her latest ex, Harry Style of One Direction, while at the NRJ Awards in Cannes, France on Saturday night.

Swift and Styles - briefly known together as 'Haylor' - split late last month after an apparent argument while the two were on holiday in the British Virgin Islands.

Rumor has it that at Saturday's award show in Cannes, Swift purposely delayed her arrival by 25 minutes to avoid running into Harry Styles.

A source told USMagazine.com: "It was very carefully timed so they didn't do the carpet at the same time."

"Taylor didn't do any backstage interviews and didn't use a dressing room - she changed at the hotel because she didn't want to see Harry at any point. ...Things were timed to keep them apart and for it to not become a big media circus."

Later at the awards show, Swift hit the stage to perform her breakup-anthem hit 'We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together' while donning a tiny black lace dress with knee-high boots. Wonder what Harry's reaction was!

Luckily for Styles, he and his One Direction mates were among the big winners at the event as the band picked up the award for Best International Group and performed their hit 'Kiss You'.

Speculation is strong at the moment that Styles could be the focus of one of Swift's next tunes as she often turns to her line of failed relationships for inspiration.

She has previously said. "Well, it's not like it's in fine print but music is absolutely everything that I am and everything that I stand for."

"It's not my fault if someone gets into a relationship with me and then cheats and I write a song about it."

Taylor Swift is planning to take Harry Styles out on a yacht on the French Riviera

Taylor Swift

The 23-year-old singer wants to have some "private romantic time" with the 18-year-old star ahead of his 19th birthday next Friday as part of the first steps of the pair getting back together following their split earlier this month.

Taylor and Harry are expected to seal their reunion at the NRJ Music Awards in Cannes this Sunday  – where One Direction are nominated for International Group of the Year – and a source revealed the blonde beauty wants "no expense to be spared" when she whisks Harry away.

A One Direction insider told the Daily Star newspaper: “The lads are planning to hang out together enjoying Cannes – and they also want to get to Paris.

“But Taylor is desperately trying to make arrangements for her and Harry to slip away and have private romantic time.

“She has got a boat on standby ready for them to sneak off.

“Taylor thought a boat would be the perfect getaway as photographers can’t follow them.”

The 'I Knew You Were Trouble' hitmaker has reserved a small private villa in the town of Mougins, four miles north of Cannes, but Harry's "main focus" is said to be spending time with his bandmates Zayn Malik, Liam Payne, Louis Tomlinson and Niall Horan.

The insider added: “It’s all up in the air as Harry’s main focus is being with his band.”

But it would not be the first time Taylor and Harry went on a yacht after the One Direction singer hired a sailboat to take them to two private islands during their romantic break in the Caribbean at new year, but the holiday ended in disaster when they split after having an argument.

A source said at the time: "Harry and Taylor kept getting hassled for pictures by fans on the island so he hired a yacht for two days and one night to take them to two private islands.
"He organised snorkelling and a chef to cook gourmet meals when they wanted."

One Direction have joined a hunger campaign to help get food to Africa

One Direction

The 'What Makes You Beautiful' hitmakers - Niall Horan, Liam Payne, Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson and Zayn Malik - appear alongside other big names in an official video for the 'Enough Food If' cause, calling on British Prime Minister David Cameron to take more drastic action in putting a stop to world hunger when the G8 nations meet in the UK later this year.

Harry, 18, opens the video by saying to the camera: "One third of children in sub-Saharan Africa are malnourished."

Zayn, 20, adds: "Big corporations avoid paying millions to Africa every day. If we stop this, all of Africa could have enough food to eat."

'Pirates of the Caribbean' actor Orlando Bloom also appears in the clip, asking: "The world produces enough food for everyone. Why are one billion people going hungry?"

Actor David Harewood, who plays CIA agent David Estes in the hit drama 'Homeland', continues: "When there is enough food to feed everyone, why are 870 million going hungry?"

Other famous names who appear in the video include Microsoft chief Bill Gates, 'Love Actually' actor Bill Nighy and South African social rights campaigner Archbishop Desmond Tutu.

Sarah Jacobs from Save the Children - who are one of the many charities pushing the campaign towards ending world hunger - hopes the famous names will gain them the attention and action they are seeking.
She said: "The last time a campaign came together with this many people involved was Make Poverty History.

"It's a major crisis that we need to tackle. We've made amazing progress in the last few years, but the issue of poverty has been sidelined.

"We need to make sure that promises which have been made by governments about life saving are carried through. World leaders can't ignore us if we come together in our masses."

The campaign - which is also backed by charities including Oxfam, Action Aid, Christian Aid and Unicef - launched in London on Wednesday night.

One Direction's Taylor Swift and Harry Styles are getting back together

Taylor Swift and Harry Styles

The former couple – who split earlier this month following an argument during their new year holiday in the Caribbean – have patched up their differences following showdown talks in London, and they will reportedly seal their reunion at the NRJ Music Awards in Cannes, France, this weekend.

A source told The Sun newspaper: “Taylor realised she was being a bit full-on.

“She is now more relaxed about their relationship. She intends to enjoy it more rather than worry about where it could eventually lead.

“Harry is not the sort of guy you can stay mad at for long. She’s given him some space and it’s done them both a world of good.

“What happened over New Year is now a distant memory.”

Harry, 18, is said to be planning a number of romantic gestures for the 'We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together' hitmaker in Cannes, where they will stay in the same hotel.

Following their split earlier this month, Taylor – who has had several failed relationships with stars including Jake Gyllenhaal, Joe Jonas and John Mayer - was said to have been left "embarrassed" by her love life after she was mocked at the Golden Globes and during an episode of 'Saturday Night Live'.

A source explained: "The jokes being made about Taylor's love life embarrass her.

"At first Taylor just thought it was funny how much interest people had in her love life and she went along with it. But now she's the butt of jokes on 'Saturday Night Live,' in the tabloids and on the late night shows. She laughed it off, but the jokes made about her at the Golden Globes got under her skin."

The 'Love Story' singer who has dated stars including Jake Gyllenhaal, John Mayer and most recently One Direction's Harry Styles, was mortified when Golden Globes co-host mocked her romantic history at the recent awards show and she was the butt of jokes on an episode of 'Saturday Night Live'.

A source told RadarOnline: “The jokes being made about Taylor's love life embarrass her.

“At first Taylor just thought it was funny how much interest people had in her love life and she went along with it. But now she’s the butt of jokes on ‘Saturday Night Live,’ in the tabloids and on the late night shows.

She laughed it off, but the jokes made about her at the Golden Globes got under her skin.”

Taylor, 23, who has also dated Conor Kennedy, Taylor Lautner and Joe Jonas, is famous for using her relationships as inspiration for her songs but she is beginning to regret being so open about her dating history.

The source added: “She really wants to make an effort to slow down and not jump from boyfriend to boyfriend. In a weird way all the negative press has really opened her eyes and will be good for her!”

Taylor Swift wants some time alone following her split from Harry Styles

Harry Styles and Taylor Swift

The 'We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together' singer recently called time on her brief relationship with the One Direction singer and is now planning to stay single for a while as wants to be independent.

She told Vibe magazine: “Independence is something I’ve always needed, from when I was young. But I love the idea of romance and falling in love. I’ve never really had a long relationship. So that’s something I think about for the future. It’s an interesting part of my personality: Part of me just wants to be alone ….

Sagittarians are really independent, and we like our space. We’re drawn to love but battle for that need for independence.”

Taylor, 23, reportedly broke up with Harry, 18, because she felt she couldn't trust him.

A source said: “Taylor’s trust issues contributed towards their argument. She says she couldn’t cope with all the attention Harry gets from fans, and the fact he is a massive flirt with girls.

“She knew that if they were to spend huge amounts of time apart. Trusting him to remain true to her would be pretty much impossible.”

One Direction's Harry Styles' mother is worried his tattoo obsession is getting "out of hand"

Styles shows off some of his ink

Anne Cox has pleaded with her 18-year-old son to stop getting inked so often, and she has started by successfully convincing him not to get a tattoo of his name in Japanese calligraphy during One Direction's latest jaunt in the country.

A source said: "Harry’s mum is worried his tattoo collection is getting out of hand.

“She thinks he’s getting addicted to sitting in the artist’s chair.

“She’s concerned about the lasting effects of the scribbles all over his body and thinks he could live to regret some of them.

“Harry loves the Japanese symbols. He’s determined to have Japanese calligraphy on him.

“It wouldn’t surprise me if he gets it done sneakily.”

The 'Kiss You' hitmakers' mentor Simon Cowell has also urged the pop star to give his tattoo habit a rest after he got inked more than 30 times in the last 12 months.

The source added to the Daily Star newspaper: “Simon gave him some gentle advice suggesting he gives it a break for a while and reassess.

“Harry has had over 30 tattoos in the last year. His mum is also concerned the ink could be the reason he gets such bad skin.

“She’s told him he’ll get even more spotty if he continues, not just on his face.”

One Direction’s Harry Styles is ‘full on’ in relationships, says former band mate

Harry Styles

The One Direction heartthrob's close friend Will Sweeny - who he was in the band White Eskimo with  - describes Harry as very "caring" towards his girlfriends, but admits the 18-year-old lothario does take things one step too far when trying to win them over.

Recalling an example of Harry's keenness, Will said: "One time I remember we went all the way to Birmingham out of nowhere because he decided he needed to see this girl.

"We got a train on the day to Birmingham, got off the train, had no idea where she was going to be, it was raining really hard and we walked across the whole of Leamington Spa trying to find her.

"Then we somehow managed to find an address and it was great, but it was two or three hours of tracking around Birmingham.

"So he goes to great lengths and he's caring, but he's full on. In any relationship he's going to be full on."
Harry has dated a string of high-profile women - including TV presenter Caroline Flack, 33, and most recently 'Trouble' hitmaker Taylor Swift, 22 - and although he has a reputation for being a womaniser, Will insists it is as a result of his pal's fame "situation" and the female attention he receives.

He added to HeatWorld: "He didn't used to be like that - it's probably just because of the situation he's in now. There weren't hundreds of thousands of women throwing themselves at him, that's probably something to do with it."

Harry and Taylor are reported to have split up at the beginning of the year after a massive row during their New Year's vacation in the Caribbean and Will believes the pressure of their fame is what caused their break up.

He explained: "When you've got two of the most famous people in the world, I don't think he knew what that was going to be like. It's doubled his chances of everyone wanting to see him.

"Everyone wants to see him and everyone wants to see her, so when they're both together it's going to be insane."

Taylor Swift books a romantic holiday to Venice for Harry Styles' birthday

Swift and Styles

The 'I Knew You Were Trouble' singer split from the One Direction star two weeks ago, but had already organised the treat to celebrate his turning 19 next month.

Taylor had spared no expense on the break, booking five nights at the Palazzina Grassi hotel on the Grand Canal and their own personal transport for the duration of their stay in the romantic Italian floating city.

A source told The Sun newspaper: "Taylor organised an all-expenses-paid trip before the split.
"She even arranged a private gondola for them for the entire time they would be there."

Taylor, 23, and Harry broke up after two months together during a New Year holiday in the Caribbean Virgin Islands. Since then the expensive Christmas gifts they bought each have also been neglected.

The source added: "Taylor isn't using the designer bag he bought her any more. She'd also sorted some exclusive birthday presents for him - new threads from [London's] Savile Row and Beatles memorabilia.

"Harry is pretty gutted about the whole thing, even though he's putting on a cool front. He's touched she went to so much trouble to arrange his birthday ahead of time."

Instead of Venice, Harry is now thought to be planning a trip with fellow teen heartthrob Justin Bieber - who has recently split from his girlfriend, Selena Gomez - which will see them jet to either Las Vegas or Mexico for the US Spring Break holidays.

One Direction's Harry Styles is over his split from Taylor Swift

Harry Styles

The One Direction hunk was dumped by the 'I Knew You Were Trouble' hitmaker earlier this week, following a two-month whirlwind romance, and if Harry was upset by the break-up, he hasn't been showing it.

Just 24 hours after the split, Harry - who has been linked with a string of women since finding fame with One Direction - shared a hot tub with TV presenter Hermione Way while on holiday on Sir
Richard Branson's Necker Island and she says the 18-year-old singer seemed very content with his life.

The 27-year-old beauty told The Sun newspaper: "I didn't know what had happened. He seemed happy to me.

"I had a lovely time. Harry is a charming fella."

And it seems Harry is making sure he enjoys his time as a bachelor as he is planning a boys' holiday with Justin Bieber, who recently split from on/off girlfriend Selena Gomez.

A source said: "The lads talked about a boys' trip when they were going out with the girls, but it was never on the cards. Now they're footloose and fancy-free, they want to make it happen. They might not be old enough to legally drink but that won't stop them."

Taylor Swift is back in the studio following her split from One Direction heartthrob Harry Styles

Taylor Swift and Harry Styles

The 'We Are Never Getting Back Together' singer is taking solace in her work following her break-up from Harry last weekend after a holiday bust-up.

She tweeted: "Back in the studio. Uh oh... (sic)"

Harry and Taylor cut short a break to the British Virgin Islands after a huge argument and went their separate ways, with him flying back to London and her subsequently appearing at the People's Choice Awards in Los Angeles on Wednesday (09.01.13).

Taylor is famed for writing tracks about her exes - which include Conor Kennedy, Taylor Lautner, Jake Gyllenhaal and John Mayer - but while many fans guess as to who the subjects of 'I Knew You Were Trouble' and 'Begin Again' are, she rarely tells.

The only song she has recorded openly exposing an ex-lover is 'Dear John', about John Mayer.

The track includes the line: "Dear John, I see it all now that you're gone / Don't you think I was too young to be messed with?"

Speculation is rife that Harry could be the subject of her next track.

Taylor has been open about using her failed relationships as subjects for her tracks.

She said: "Well, it's not like it's in fine print but music is absolutely everything that I am and everything that I stand for.

"It's not my fault if someone gets into a relationship with me and then cheats and I write a song about
it."

Justin Bieber and One Direction’s Harry Styles are planning a boys' holiday

Justin Bieber and One Direction’s Harry Styles

The teenage heartthrobs want to jet off to Las Vegas or Mexico for the full Spring Break experience and are hoping a week of fun in the sun will help them get over their break-ups with Selena Gomez and Taylor Swift.

A friend of the 'Baby' singer and the One Direction lothario told The Sun newspaper: "The lads talked about a boys' trip when they were going out with the girls, but it was never on the cards. Now they're footloose and fancy-free, they want to make it happen. They might not be old enough to legally drink but that won't stop them."

Justin and Selena ended their on/off relationship after an explosive bust-up on New Year's Eve, with the Disney starlet flying home early from their holiday in Puerta Vallarta, Mexico.

Taylor and Harry also called it quits on vacation, while the pair was celebrating going public with their short-lived romance with a mini-break in the Caribbean. Country star Taylor was spotted looking glum as she headed to the airport early, and is thought to have confided in her close pal Selena over their mutual heartbreak.

The 18-year-old boys - who both share a penchant for tattoos - now appear to be planning the ultimate guys' vacation to get over their unlucky start to 2013, and are thinking of inviting Harry's One Direction bandmates Niall Horan, Louis Tomlinson, Zayn Malik and Liam Payne along for the ride.

The insider added: "They can afford to rent an entire floor of one of the big hotels like the Wynn. There's talk of making it a proper boys' holiday, with the rest of 1D and their mates."

Taylor Swift has dumped Harry Styles - huge fight in the Caribbean ends One Direction star's whirlwind romance

Taylor Swift and Harry Styles have split

The couple - who went public with their romance at the beginning of December - are said to have ended their relationship after they had a huge fight while on holiday in the Caribbean last week.

A source told the New York Post's Page Six that the 18-year-old One Direction star was dumped by the 'We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together' singer after they had a massive bust-up on the British Virgin Island, Virgin Gorda and she fled their plush resort early.

A source also confirmed to the MailOnline.com: "Yes I can confirm they have split up. They were on holiday and had an almighty row. They are two young stars at the top of their game so who knows what will happen in the future."

The 23-year-old blonde beauty jetted to the island last Tuesday (01.01.13) after ringing in the New Year in New York with her British beau, but she left just three days later on Friday (04.01.13).

Taylor was spotted looking glum as she caught a boat alone to the airport, while Harry was seen taking a trip over to Richard Branson's private resort on Necker Island for a night of partying, where he hung out in a hot tub and chatted with female fans until the early morning hours, according Business Insider.

The young heartthrob was seen back in London on Saturday (05.01.13) after flying back to Heathrow airport solo.

Taylor hinted that all was not well between the couple later that day, as she tweeted: "...'til you put me down."

The singer is expected to confide in her good pal Selena Gomez, who recently broke up with her boyfriend of more than two years Justin Bieber.
