WATCH: Niall Horan flirts with Lorraine Kelly in 'sexual' TV interview
We never thought that we’d be saying these words but 23-year-old Niall Horan flirted up a storm with 57-year-old Lorraine Kelly when he appeared on her chat show earlier today.
Sparks certainly seemed to be flying between the two this morning, with Niall making the host blush when he discussed the “sexual” nature of his new music.
Speaking about his recent single ‘Slow Hands’, Niall told Lorraine: “I thought I’d finished the album last November/December, then I had a thought in January that I wasn’t and I went back into the studio and I wrote Slow Hands in February.
“It was kind of like a last minute addition to the album. Very sexual, Lorraine… I didn’t want to say that in front of you, but I’ve said it now.”
Refusing to spare the Irish star’s blushes, Lorraine quipped back: “That’s a good thing. Sex is one of the wonderful things in life, it is!”
Ahhh.
Niall continued: “What a wonderful woman. You are the loveliest woman in television.”
Later in the chat, Niall ramped the sexual tension up even more – admitting that he wished Lorraine would ask for his phone number when she asked him about the attention he receives from female fans.
The One Direction star replied: “Are you asking for my number? Because I wish you were.”
Needless to say, the Irish charmer’s antics had viewers in a tizzy – although some were more on board than others:
