Harry Styles’ rumoured new girlfriend flies from New York to London to watch his sellout Wembley show
COULD things be a bit more serious between Harry Styles and his rumoured new squeeze than we first thought?
Yan Yan Chan — the Aussie influencer he was linked to in March — has sparked suspicion that things are still hotting up after arriving in London for his series of tour dates in the capital.
She jetted in from her home in New York this week and was at Harry’s first of four nights at Wembley Stadium on Tuesday.
Pals posted photos with her on Instagram which showed they had some of the best seats in the house.
They were surrounded by celebrities including Spice Girls Emma Bunton and Melanie C, Love Island host Maya Jama and actor Stanley Tucci.
Since splitting from actress and director Olivia Wilde last year, Harry has remained tight-lipped about his love life, including his fling in Tokyo with model Emily Ratajkowski in March.
It wasn’t only Yan Yan being in the crowd that made it a special show for the As It Was singer.
He got choked up on stage speaking about how unbelievable it is for him to be selling out stadiums in his home country.
Harry told the crowd: “This city has adopted me — I’ve lived in London for 13 years.
“This is very much coming home to play for you. Thank you so much.”
Referencing his audition for The X Factor at Wembley Arena, Harry added: “It means so much to be here tonight.
“The very first time I came to London was just across the street in Wembley. So this place is very special to me.”
Later, he got emotional and said: “These nights get a little bit scary for me.
“I know how important it is to be here tonight and what it means to me to be here. It makes it feel like it’s supposed to be something all unto itself and it gets really scary that it might never live up to what I think it’s going to be.
“I want to thank you be- cause every single time I am here, you give me these memories which I know I am going to be thinking about for the rest of my life.”
‘Put Kylie Padam in the lingo’
KYLIE MINOGUE’s song Padam Padam has been so influential it could now enter the Oxford English Dictionary.
The track is her biggest hit in a decade.
I’ve now been told it has received a series of submissions from people suggesting the term “padam”, which refers to the noise of a beating heart, should be officially added to the language.
It has already been the subject of a string of memes on social media since being released last month and it could become even more important.
A source said: “Loads of fans have been contacting the Oxford English Dictionary about actually getting the word ‘padam’ added.
“Kylie joked about it in an interview recently but now people have taken it upon themselves to make it happen.
“It has entered her fans’ vocabulary and they want to make it official.”
The Oxford English Dictionary periodically adds words, with “textspeak” and “dap” being new additions in January.
The single, the first from her upcoming album Tension, reached a new high of No12 in the charts last Friday and on Sunday she performed it at Capital’s Summertime Ball at Wembley Stadium.
This success will definitely have her heart beating faster.
LEIGH-ANNE IS THE GREEN OF HEARTS
NOTHING is bringing newly married Leigh-Anne Pinnock down as she gears up to launch her solo career.
The Little Mix singer danced her way through a street in central London as she headed to a radio studio to promote debut single Don’t Say Love, which is out tomorrow.
The track comes less than a fortnight after Leigh-Anne, who wore this green leather dress, tied the knot to footballer Andre Gray in Jamaica.
She showed off her wedding ring while out and about, and it sits next to her huge emerald engagement ring.
About the single’s video, Leigh-Anne told Vogue: “It is about trying to escape the feeling of being overlooked and undervalued.
“I’m a stunt woman in it, it’s mad. I dive into water to symbolise rebirth and letting go of that pain.
“Then I go into my love and step into this new person, or the person I always knew I was, that I just lost on the way.”
A chase for Charli
MARK RONSON was worried about asking Charli XCX to take part in the Barbie soundtrack because he thought she would say no.
The Grammy-winning producer reckoned she would turn down his offer as her song Speed Drive isn’t used in the opening or closing credits.
Instead, it appears during a car chase involving Barbie, played by Margot Robbie, and Ken – actor Ryan Gosling.
During the official launch party in West London for the film’s soundtrack, which also features Nicki Minaj, Ava Max and Dua Lipa, hitmaker Mark revealed: “Everybody wrote so specifically for their scenes.
“With Charli, we knew we wanted her for the car chase.
“But when you tell someone where you want the song to be in the film, they want the big ones – opening or closing credits.
“A car chase is a bit weird. I kind of whispered it out but she was so amazing. She just loved it.”
ANNE-MARIE: I’M OFF BOOZE
ANNE-MARIE has joined a growing list of stars who have gone sober.
It’s not for health benefits, but because she has a crippling phobia of being sick.
The singer, who has just released her aptly named single Unhealthy, said she cut out booze and other substances last October, following in the footsteps of Miley Cyrus, Calvin Harris and Becky Hill.
She explained: “If I like something, I do it or eat it a lot. So when it comes to alcohol, after a show, going out with your friends, it just seemed to be there all the time in my life, throughout touring and stuff.
“I just stopped. I don’t know what it was. It didn’t help with my phobia of sick that I was getting drunk and being scared of being sick in the morning.
“I was like, ‘I’ll remove that fear from my life’, and I stopped everything. I’m sober from absolutely everything bad, basically. Apart from chocolate.”
She went on to say she has tried everything to conquer the phobia but nothing has worked.
On Jessie Ware‘s Table Manners podcast, Anne-Maries explained: “I’ve tried hypnotherapy, I’ve done therapy.
“But I think I’ve been sick twice in maybe 20 years. It’s bad. I’ve had it since I was young.
“My body actually thinks it’s going to die so I just shut down and my body just does whatever it needs to do to get away.
“It’s so dangerous. I can’t stop my body from what it’s doing in that moment.
“I can’t go on buses or trains because I can’t get off.”
Emilie’s next of Kym
THEY say the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree – and that’s certainly true with rising star Emilie.
She is the daughter of former Hear’Say singer turned actress Kym Marsh.
Last week she dropped her debut single If I Didn’t Stay and is due to release her debut album Stories later this year.
Following in the footsteps of Taylor Swift, Emilie jetted to Nashville to record the record .
And she says her biggest influences are Alicia Keys and Amy Winehouse.
CAITY’S STRINGING HIM ALONG
CAITY BASER makes a meal out of her new video and ends up recreating this romantic Lady And The Tramp scene.
She dropped her track Leave Me Alone today and the video, which will follow tomorrow, sees her emulate scenes from famous movies, with a lover who she is trying to get away from.
The singer-songwriter said: “We recreated scenes from Love Actually, Say Anything, Romeo And Juliet, Lady And The Tramp and Wolf Of Wall Street.”
