Little Mix alum Jade Thirlwall has revealed that Harry Styles ghosted her after making it big on 'The X Factor.' A year later, he apologized, saying, ‘I'm really sorry that I ignored you.'

A possible romantic relationship between Jade Thirlwall and Harry Styles went in the wrong direction, according Thirlwall.

Jade Thirlwall has revealed that she was ghosted by Harry Styles when they were still teenagers. Although Jade originally rose to fame on the eighth series of The X Factor, when she joined the future chart-topping girl group Little Mix,

I was so young, it didn’t really matter but he was always very, very lovely,” the singer told podcast host Louis Theroux

One Direction] went on live shows [on ‘The X Factor’], he didn’t message me back,” the “Angel of My Dreams” singer recalled.

When did Jade Thirlwall and Harry Styles date? Jade Thirlwall has revealed that she and Harry Styles once went on a date back in their X Factor days but was 'ghosted' by the singer.

Ok, Jade Thirlwall just spilled some serious tea. Directioners, please prepare for a shock — even Harry Styles is prone to bad dating habits… or at least he was… apparently. Which bad habits? Well, the Little Mix singer, who recently appeared on The Louis Theroux Podcast, has revealed that Styles ghosted her way back in 2010.

The pair met while auditioning for music competition show, The X Factor. Although Thirlwall is primarily known for winning as a member of Little Mix in 2011, she initially auditioned the year prior. At that time, a young Styles, Zayn Malik, Louis Tomlinson, Niall Horan, and the late Liam Payne nearly swept the competition as One Direction.

Suffice to say, Jade Thirwall and Harry Styles weren’t written in the stars. While serving as a guest on Louis Theroux’s podcast episode posted Tuesday (Jan. 21), the Little Mix star reflected on meeting the One Direction alum during their early days on The X Factor, revealing that they went on one date before a certain teen heartthrob ghosted her.
