(Cover) - EN Showbiz - One Direction's Harry Styles didn't know what hit him when a British reality TV cougar "headed in his direction."

The 18-year-old star and bandmates Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, Louis Tomlinson and Liam Payne have shot to international stardom since the release of their debut album Up All Night.

Although Harry is rumoured to have a penchant for dating beautiful older women, he didn't seem receptive to 35-year-old model Sophie Anderton's advances at a London nightclub.

"As soon as Harry arrived she clocked him and headed in his direction," a source told British newspaper The Sun. "He said, Hi' but he was being polite to everyone. It looked like he didn't know who she was."

Sophie was reportedly on the prowl for a while before she realised that she didn't capture Harry's attention.

"Wherever he moved, she followed. If he went to one end of the club, she went after him," the witness recalled. "She eventually got the hint and settled down on a nearby table. It was uncomfortable to watch." (C) Cover Media
