Jade Thirlwall recalled Harry Styles cutting off all communication amid One Direction’s rising success on 'X Factor' on the Jan. 20, episode of 'The Louis Theroux Podcast'

A British pop star has revealed how Harry Styles ‘ghosted’ her after one date when they were teenagers both hoping to make it big on The X Factor.

Harry Styles and Jade Thirlwall's romance was short-lived. During a guest appearance on the Monday, January 20, episode of "The Louis Theroux Podcast," the Little Mix member recalled crushing on Styles when they both auditioned for and competed on X-Factor in 2010.

Don't worry — the One Direction alum later apologized. Some Wattpad writers have just been vindicated: it turns out that Little Mix alum Jade Thirlwall once had a short-lived romance with One Direction's Harry Styles.

While talking about her career beginnings on Simon Cowell's talent competition show, Thirlwall shared that she and Styles met - and hit it off - when both of them were auditionees
