Niall Horan “flirting” with Corrie star Brooke Vincent, that would be one seriously fit pairing

The One Direction star has made no secret of him fancying the actress. One thing's for sure, they'd make a good Brookin' couple.

The perma-grinning 19-year-old Irish singer had his photo taken with the actress, 20, at his gig in Manchester last month. And he has previously called her his “ideal woman”, but gorgeous Brooke has a boyfriend.

A source said: “Niall has never made any secret of fancying Brooke so he’s chuffed.”

Nearly two years ago Niall admitted he fancied the Corrie star, and even Tweeted as much:

Hedging his bets there. Well you don't want to limit yourself to just one fit celeb, do you now?

Niall has also previously said that he likes girls to be "cute, but not super-sexy as that can be intimidating". And he singled out Kate Middleton as another one of his favourites.

Well it's good to aim high.

Last October the 1D charmer was reportedly dating a 20-year-old drama student called Amy Green.

The pair were spotted looking cosy at X Factor at Fountain Studios in Wembley.

And prior to that, Niall was said to be growing close to X Factor USA host Demi Lovato.

Demi said about Niall: “He has a lot of great qualities. He is an amazing ­listener and makes me laugh a lot, two of the main qualities I look for.

“He knows I have a little crush on him, and we enjoy having dinner when we get the chance. We speak and message all the time. I don’t want a relationship over Skype; we are both in a place where we feel zero pressure to rush."
