Harry Styles sent shock waves through the internet when he was seen passionately kissing Emily Ratajkowski on the streets of Tokyo, in an exclusive MailOnline video.
And it emerged that the singer, 29, had had a crush on the supermodel, 31, for quite some time, even calling her his celebrity crush during a 2014 interview.

The Vogue cover star replied: ‘I don’t know. I’m not sure I believe fanatics fooling people. I don’t know if that’s the way to find the best kind of relationships.
