She hasn’t addressed the controversial romance since they broke up in January. But two months on, Caroline Flack has broken her silence on her three-month-fling with Harry Styles.

The 32-year-old said she couldn’t believe the fascination with their relationship and that in the future she would try and keep her private life from the public eye. The Xtra Factor Host, who is 14 years Harry’s senior, escaped to Africa after the break up to work with families less fortunate than herself.

She told The People: ‘Everyone had an opinion on me and Harry, which was the hardest thing.

‘I suppose they’re entitled to their opinions but it was really I tough. I learned the hard way. I learned a very difficult lesson but I suppose looking forward it isn’t a bad lesson to learn, is it?’

The star added: ‘In future the easiest thing is that I keep it to myself. I can’t believe how much attention there was on me.

‘I’ve been in Africa for a month with friends and it has been incredible to get away. We were helping people in the villages so it was a great experience.’

But Harry appears to have moved on already as he tours the U.S. with his bandmates.

The teenager turned up to a radio interview in Pennsylvania holding a massive poster of a bikini-clad Kim Kardashian. He had stuck a post-it note on it which said: ‘Call me, Maybe?’ And his bandmate Niall Horan tweeted her sister Khloe, asking her and husband Lamar to go to their concert in Dallas, where they live.

Caroline this week tweeted her support for the band after they made history by becoming the first UK group to top the US album charts with their debut album.

One Direction are celebrating after going down in history as the first UK act ever to enter the US Billboard 200 chart at number one with their debut album.

Despite loving life in America, the icing on the cake for Harry Styles, Zayn Malik, Liam Payne, Louis Tomlinson and Niall Horan would be to come home to Britain and perform at one of the biggest and most prestigious events of the year – the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee concert.

Gary Barlow is organizing the music spectacular and he has made no secret of the fact he is a huge fans of the 1D boys, recently Tweeting: “Another big congrats to @onedirection on their US success.America loving our boy bands.Maybe I’ll get me cycling shorts back on!! #ornot”

Gary has pulled together an incredible line-up for the celebratory concert, which takes place on June 4, including Sir Paul McCartney, Sir Elton John, Sir Tom Jones, JLS, Jessie J, Ed Sheeran, Dame Shirley Bassey and Sir Cliff Richard – could One Direction be next on the bill?

A concert insider told The Mirror: “Obviously Gary has close connections with Simon Cowell and The X Factor, and is keen to get One Direction signed up.

“A few things need to be moved around but hopefully the boys will be signed up by the end of the month.”

Harry confirmed the group would love to perform at the concert, especially if they could take to the stage with Paul McCartney.

He said: “I’d love to meet Her Royal Highness. And I grew up listening to the Beatles ’cos my dad used to play them over and over again. I still listen to them now. They’re quite an inspiration. It’d be amazing if Paul McCartney was up for doing something… I love him. That would be incredible. We’ve got a lot of big plans but I’m sure anything would be struck out of the diary if an invitation came along.”

Gary is working tirelessly to ensure the special free event will be a fitting showcase of the best of British talent to mark 60 years of the Queen being on the throne.

The Queen, Duke of Edinburgh and other royals will attend the event, which will be staged at the Queen Victoria memorial at the end of The Mall, in front of Buckingham Palace, which Gary describes as “the best backdrop in the world.”

One Direction is getting tons of invitations for personal appearances now that the band has become a massive hit around the world. But will the group make time for invitation to visit an “X Factor” U.S. audition?

A cheeky but somewhat serious Twitter message from “The X Factor” U.S. indicates that the invitation has gone out to at least one member of One Direction: Harry Styles.

On March 21, 2012, “The X Factor” U.S. tweeted this message after news broke about One Direction being the first U.K. group to have its first album debut at No. 1 in the U.S

“@Harry_Styles we’re still waiting to hear which audition city you want to come visit us at 😉 After this news we owe you a jump high five!”

“X Factor” auditions for 2012 are currently under way in the U.K. and the U.S.

It would seem natural for One Direction to visit the U.K. auditions first, but the group will not be able to attend the U.K. auditions in 2012 due to work commitments in North America.

As for the U.S. auditions in 2012, here are the possible dates that One Direction could attend:

May 1, 2012: Greensboro, North Carolina – Greensboro Coliseum
May 9, 2012: Providence, Rhode Island – Dunkin’ Donuts Center
June 18, 2012: San Francisco, California – Cow Palace (auditions in front of judges)*
July 8, 2012: Greensboro, North Carolina – Greensboro Coliseum (auditions in front of judges)*
July 9, 2012: Greensboro, North Carolina – Greensboro Coliseum (auditions in front of judges)*

*(Only if a One Direction concert tour date is not added here.)

The judges do not attend open-call auditions, so it would make more sense for One Direction to go to any of the auditions where Cowell will be at, namely in San Francisco on June 18 or in Greensboro on July 8 and July 9. If anyone can make a One Direction “X Factor” audition visit happen, Cowell can.

One Direction mania will keep its grip on America’s teens and tweens well into the summer. The U.K. pop vocal sensations announced on Wednesday they’ll headline their first-ever North American Tour, starting May 24 in Fairfax, Va. and sweeping through arenas and large theaters in cities ranging from New York, Toronto and Los Angeles and many points in between.

The quintet made history this week on the Billboard 200 as the first U.K. group to bow at No. 1 with their debut album on Columbia’s “Up All Night.” The album’s lead single, “What Makes You Beautiful,” debuted at No. 28 on the Billboard Hot 100 a month ago.

In the past two weeks, the five-piece have charmed American audiences on multiple television appearances — 10,000 screaming fans showed for NBC’s “Today on March 12 — and they are slated to make a splash on “Saturday Night Live” on April 7.

Formed on the 2010 edition of the U.K. version of “X Factor,” One Direction comprises Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, Liam Payne, Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson. All of the group members hail from the U.K., save for Horan, who is from Ireland. The act has nabbed three top three U.K. singles and its debut album hit No. 2 in November 2011.

They aren’t exactly novices to the U.S. touring circuit, having just wrapped a 10-date trip opening for Big Time Rush.

So far, 21 dates on the tour have been announced with more planned. Tickets go on sale March 24.
