That host was Caroline Flack and Harry had been harbouring a huge crush her for months before even signing up to the singing contest. In August 2011 he told the official X Factor website: “If Caroline Flack is ­reading this, say ‘Hi’ from me. Things quickly turned serious, with Harry taking Caroline home to Holmes Chapel to meet his mum Anne Twist - who was a big fan. But when Caroline apparently cooled things just before Christmas, Harry was said to have been devastated. “She’s his first big relationship.”The couple reunited in January 2012, and when Caroline came under fire from Harry's ardent fans, he hit back on Twitter.
