Harry Styles’ furious mum wants Caroline Flack to back off

Anne Styles is far from impressed with the 32-year-old Xtra Factor presenter getting cosy with her son, and has reportedly said she wants her to stay away.

Harry Styles’ mum has reacted angrily to reports that her son is dating Caroline Flack, and has reportedly warned the 32-year-old to back off.

Anne Styles apparently became uncomfortable after snaps of teen Harry sneaking out of the Xtra Factor presenter’s London home after spending the night hit the press yesterday.

And now she’s said to be worried that Harry, 17, will end up getting hurt by the TV host.

A source reportedly told Star magazine: "Anne doesn't want Harry to end up getting hurt. Caroline is a worldly woman, who is never short of male attention."

They added: "Anne just feels Harry needs to stick to girls his own age and says Caroline should back off!"

News of the pair’s alleged romance has been rife in the last few days, after the pair seemingly spent the night together. It was even trending on social networking site Twitter, as people tried to keep up-to-date with the latest developments.

Caroline’s recent interview with Now magazine, in which she defended dating someone so much younger, has also sparked huge interest in the relationship.

She told the magazine: “Some people tend to see the negative immediately and that's what I find really strange. If two people like each other and get on, why does anyone else find a negative in it?

“I know it's human nature for everyone to gossip. But why say it's bad? No one's being hurt at all in anyway.”

Caroline added: "It's the age gap that's the story. What's hard for me to get my head around is people saying it's disgusting. I don't think it is.”

    "Anne doesn't want Harry to end up getting hurt."

    Well then, Anne should not have brought Harry into this world.

    We live in a reality where people DO get hurt, because relationships break down, humans get bored or indifferent or want different things.

    Whatever age her son's girlfriends are, he will be hurt if they leave him, and they will be hurt if he leave them.

    And the smart money is on him getting bored and hurting her first.

    " Caroline is a worldly woman, who is never short of male attention."

    Oh right, so Harry should try and find a girl that men don't find attractive.

    Just...no. A boy of 17 does not need protecting like this. I'm afraid the 'hurt' he might feel at a relationship breaking down, is NO different to the hurt he'll feel when he's twice that age, if he has a failed relationship then.

    You only avoid 'hurt' in a relationship by not entering into one, or beating huge odds, and being lucky enough to be happy with the first person you get together with.

    Otherwise - get real.

    Actually appearing X Factor was the biggest possible chance of him being hurt, had it gone wrong, but I'm sure she was happy to take that gamble.

    Being dumped by a partner is something he will have to face in life at any age, not to mention he may be doing quite a lot of the dumping himself.

    It's not any easier to break up with someone when you're older than when you're 17. It still feels horrible either way.

    ps: if his mother never said any of this, and it's all lies, then I'm sorry Harry's mother, I wish people wouldn't write these quotes you never said.

    Agree with first two responders. But I also think Harry's mum should keep it shut! If she thought her son was mature enough to enter the cut-throat world that is the music business, then he's big and ugly enough to handle a relationship with an older woman.

    I agree with Caroline too - it's the age difference everybody is focusing on. But had this been a 32 yo GUY in a relationship with 17 yo GIRL, nobody would bat a bliddy eyelid!
