Jade Thirlwall recalled Harry Styles cutting off all communication amid One Direction’s rising success on 'X Factor' on the Jan. 20, episode of 'The Louis Theroux Podcast'

Harry Styles and Jade Thirlwall's romance was short-lived. During a guest appearance on the Monday, January 20, episode of "The Louis Theroux Podcast," the Little Mix member recalled crushing on Styles when they both auditioned for and competed on X-Factor in 2010.

Don't worry — the One Direction alum later apologized. Some Wattpad writers have just been vindicated: it turns out that Little Mix alum Jade Thirlwall once had a short-lived romance with One Direction's Harry Styles.

While talking about her career beginnings on Simon Cowell's talent competition show, Thirlwall shared that she and Styles met - and hit it off - when both of them were auditionees
