Both parties deny any romance though many sources are claiming that the pair shared a kiss on a night out last month and, more recently, the anger of One Direction fans was further fuelled by reports that they were seen sharing a romantic meal at a London restaurant.<\/p>\n<p>It appears that Styles may not have helped to squash gossip with his reported comment: &#8220;We&#8217;re friends and we hang out sometimes but that&#8217;s about it for now. We&#8217;ll see what happens.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Some fans have reacted with outrage at the idea of a potential relationship between the pair, leaving vicious messages on Flack\u2019s Twitter account. One described her as a \u201csaggy old woman\u201d, another wrote: \u201cIf Caroline Flack flirts with my boyfriend I will personally hunt her down and shoot her.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Flack responded to the comments: &#8220;Hi One Direction fans! To clarify. I&#8217;m close friends with Harry. He&#8217;s one of the nicest people I know&#8230; I don&#8217;t deserve death threats. :) x.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Guys and girls in the Models Direct offices generally agree that death threats do seem a little out of perspective! However, the age gap is clearly big enough to inspire disgust in some. <\/p>\n<p>Styles responded to the Twitter comments by saying:  &#8220;I think a lot of people write stuff on the internet and a lot of the time, they don&#8217;t really think about what exactly they&#8217;re writing and how it can affect people.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>We can\u2019t help but wonder how long any secretly budding relationship could possibly last under this kind of scrutiny and with such a negative reaction &#8211; even if there is any truth to reports &#8211; so Styles fans probably have little to fear. However, if the unconventional couple did wish to pursue a relationship would this kind of reaction be justified?<\/p>\n<p>What do you think? <\/p>\n<p>Thankfully for Flack the controversy does not appear to have damaged her relationship with clothing label Apricot, who recently asked her to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.modelsdirect.com\/become-a-model\" title=\"be a model\" target=\"_blank\">be a model<\/a> for their denim Transformer range. We have to admit that she looked great in the campaign shots where she <a href=\"http:\/\/www.modelsdirect.com\/ourmodelssay-select.html\" title=\"modelled\" target=\"_blank\">modelled<\/a> a variety of styles, showing off a youthful figure that many 22 year olds, let alone 32 year olds, would surely envy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Writers at modelling agency Models Direct were surprised to hear of the dramatic reactions to an unconfirmed relationship between Caroline Flack and Harry Styles this week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16,158,61],"tags":[1396,1393,1394,1395,1392],"class_list":["post-4521","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-musicians","category-relationships","category-tv","tag-apricot","tag-caroline-flack","tag-harry-styles","tag-one-direction","tag-xtra-factor"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Are Recent Reactions To Caroline Flack &amp; Harry Styles Rumours Justified?
