Caroline Flack and Harry Styles have made the "mutual decision" to split up.

The Xtra Factor presenter, 32, started seeing the One Direction heartthrob who, at 17, is 15 years her junior, towards the end of last year.

But after reports that Harry dumped Caroline because she was more serious about the relationship than him, he took to Twitter to set the record straight.

He wrote: "Please know I didn't 'dump' Caroline. This was a mutual decision. She is one of the kindest, sweetest people I know. Please respect that."

Caroline, who hosted the backstage coverage of the National Television Awards on Wednesday night, kept quiet about the split, simply tweeting about her "great night", then complaining about her hangover the next day.
