Harry Styles Dating Rumors 2014: Simon Cowell's Ex-Girlfriend Sinitta Calls One Direction Heartthrob 'Forbidden Fruit' & 'Cheeky Boy'

We all know that Harry Styles likes older women (most notably Caroline Flack) but early on in his fame the One Direction singer was apparently even flirting with Simon Cowell's ex! According to Sinitta, the former girlfriend of Cowell, Harry was very flirtatious and she considered him a "cheeky boy." Regardless, she didn't entertain the idea of hooking up with the young singer, referring to him as "forbidden fruit."

"He's always been a cheeky boy! I'm aware I looked young for my age when One Direction were on The X Factor and I remember having to remind him that I was old enough to be his mother," the former pop star told Star Magazine. "It's just what Harry does. He's very flirty and sweet and he loves women. That's not a bad thing! But for me, he's definitely forbidden fruit."

Do you think Harry would've tried to start a romance with the 45-year-old ex-flame of Cowell? Let us know what you think in the comments section below!

Meanwhile, Sinitta and Simon have remained close friends, so she plans on spoiling his new baby boy, Eric, that girlfriend Laura Silverman gave birth to in February.

"I'm going to buy him lots of noisy toys!" she said. "Simon doesn't do mornings, but over the years he's given my children so many noisy toys and says, 'You can play with this in mommy's bedroom!' I'm going to be wrapping them all up and sending them right back!"
