Читать книгу Harry Styles & Niall Horan: The Biography - Choose Your Favourite Member of One Direction - Sarah Oliver - Страница 34

At bootcamp the judges and hosts had secretly written down who they thought was going to win the series. Louis Walsh had predicted that Aiden would win; Simon and Nicole thought that Gamu Nhengu would win (she didn’t make the live shows), and Dermot said Matt Cardle would be the winner.

If Simon Cowell had to say who his favourite member of One Direction is he would more than likely say that as a professional he tries not to have favourites. However, we can guess that that it might be Harry because he thinks he has a great personality and is very likeable. He liked him from his very first audition. Harry rates Simon, too, and is so grateful for everything he has done for him personally and for One Direction as a whole. When it was Simon’s birthday during their time on X Factor the boys decided to send him a joke present, as Harry explained to the Mirror: ‘For Simon Cowell’s birthday we got him a birthday card and taped £2.50 into it. That’s 50p from each of us – he can buy whatever he wants with it.’

Even though Simon liked Harry, during One Direction’s time on the show he wouldn’t give him his mobile number. ‘We would not be trusted with his number because me and Louis once gave out Matt’s number on a Twitter cam,’ Harry revealed in an interview with Hits Radio. ‘It was an accident, don’t judge us. I don’t think Simon would take it as well as Matt did.’ [The Matt Harry is talking about is Matt Cardle, who went on to win The X Factor.]
