Niall Horan Dating Rumors 2014: 'Coronation Street' Beauty Brooke Vincent And One Direction's Irish Heartthrob Flirting Via Snapchat And WhatsApp?

The latest dating rumor surrounding Niall Horan of One Direction links the Irish heartthrob once again to Coronation Street starlet Brooke Vincent. According to sources, after she recently split with footballer Josh McEachran, flirtation started up between her and the pop star.

Reports claim that technological advances such as "WhatsApp" and "SnapChat" have played a big role in these flirty messages exchanged by the young stars. Apparently, they hung out in June and have been in contact ever since.

"Niall is keen to take Brooke on a date when he gets back from touring. He's been pretty open about how hot he thinks she is, and he's told her he'd really like to take her out when they have a chance," a source explained, according to UK's Mirror. "He has a few weeks off this month before the American leg of the tour - so he's hopeful they might work it out."

But doesn't this all sound a bit familiar? The last we heard about Niall and Brooke was that they flirted via Twitter in April of 2013! Read more on this HERE!

Niall also listed Brooke as his biggest crush a few years back when One Direction was still on the rise. It looks like he might have nabbed his dream girl once and for all!

"Niall has never made any secret of fancying Brooke so he's chuffed," a source said last year when the initial rumors started popping up.
