Inside Harry Styles’ secret training regime to keep him six-pack ready during his Love on Tour shows at Wembley
HERE’S the proof that Harry Styles gives it his all on and off stage.
The As It Was hitmaker, who wowed the crowds at his Love On Tour gigs at Wembley Stadium, was spotted working up a sweat in the scorching heat.
Harry tied his floppy locks into bun and showed off his tattoos as he went topless for a workout run, under the watchful eye of his personal trainer Brad Gould.
Ahead of his much-anticipated London shows — which finished tonight — Harry made sure to take some time out and splashed £10,000 on a luxury stay at celebrity favourite Soho Farmhouse in Oxfordshire.
A source told me: “Harry snuck off for a long weekend with pals to fully recharge the batteries before heading to London.
“Harry loves nothing more than training with his mates in the great outdoors and tucking into fresh organic food.
“He wants to be on top of his game for the tour and investing in his wellbeing has become a huge priority.”
But it’s personal trainer Brad who has been credited for getting Harry into shape.
The strength and conditioning coach, from Bournemouth, even accompanied the Brit Award-winner on the Australian leg of the tour to keep him on track.
Harry is heading to Cardiff this week for two more shows before hitting the Continent for a series of gigs, finishing in Italy next month.
But while the singer channels rock ‘n’ roll icons such as Mick Jagger on stage, he shuns the boozy lifestyle.
Instead, the hitmaker practises Pilates when he is not on stage and told fashion Bible Vogue: “I’ve got very tight hamstrings.”
The former One Direction star has also been spotted taking a dip in Hampstead Heath ponds — near his London pad — and also revealed that he meditates twice a day to keep his mental health in check.
He said: “It has changed my life. It’s helped me just be more present.
“I feel like I’m able to enjoy the things that are happening right in front of me, even if it’s food or it’s coffee or it’s being with a friend — or a swim in a really cold pond!
“Meditation just brings a stillness that has been really beneficial, I think, for my mental health.”
If his recent gigs are anything to go by, his fellow popstars should take a leaf out of his book.
Wilde time
THEY called it quits after two years of dating last November.
But it appears Harry has caught the attention of his ex Olivia Wilde with his star-studded gigs at Wembley Stadium.
She subtly showed her support by liking a clip of Harry performing in London posted on Instagram by his sister Gemma.
Meanwhile the Don’t Worry Darling director was snapped hanging out with Shelli Azoff – whose son Jeff manages Harry – in LA this week.
And across the pond, music exec Jeff was spotted dancing with Harry’s mum, Anne Twist, at one of his London gigs.
SUPERSTAR HAZ IT ALL SAYS TUCCI
STANLEY TUCCI was among celebs spotted at Harry Styles’ Wembley gig – and later hailed his singer pal “brilliant”.
Harry fever swept London this week as stars including David Beckham and Maya Jama also danced along to his biggest hits.
And The Devil Wears Prada actor Stanley insisted his pal Harry – who he met through mutual friends – is a gem of a guy, adding: “He is kind, sophisticated and smart.
“Harry has got the look – he looks like a young Frank Sinatra. He has that charisma.
“I met his mother [Anne] at Wembley and she is lovely and beautiful.
“Harry is very shy but he is very sweet and genuine.
“He is easy to talk to, he is a great guy, a genius.”
Chatting to Biz on Sunday at the Women’s Prize for Fiction awards in London, Tucci joked that he wished he had “a lot more” in common with ex-One Direction hunk Harry.
He said: “We’re very different. He dresses appropriately for his act and his age and his body – I could not do that.”
Stanley – who gave Harry his Best Album gong at the Brits – said his kitchen is always filled with Harry’s tunes, adding: “I listen every day while cooking.”
Maybe it’s not just Music For A Sushi Restaurant, then.
BEYONCE HAS REAL SPARKLE
BEYONCE proved that diamonds really are a girl’s best friend as she dazzled in a sequin bodysuit.
She looked every inch the Hollywood superstar as she slipped her hourglass figure into the nude costume and wore her golden locks in bouncy waves.
It comes after the Break My Soul hitmaker performed in Amsterdam last night as part of her Renaissance World Tour.
She recently wowed fans during her five-night stint at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, North London, and celebrated by splashing out £2,000 on a private party for her entourage.
I can only imagine that my invite got lost in the post . . .
HOWARD: I HAVE A LOT TO LEARN
HOWARD DONALD has been axed from a Pride event after fans discovered he had liked a series of homophobic and transphobic tweets.
The Take That star, who was due to headline at Groovebox in Nottingham next month, deleted his Twitter account and apologised.
He posted on Instagram: “I have made a huge error in my judgment liking social media posts that are derogatory towards the LGBTQIA+ community.
“I am really disappointed in myself and I am sorry for any hurt that I have caused by my uneducated actions. I clearly have a lot to learn and it’s a priority for me that I do this.”
Drag Race’s Danny Beard, who will perform at the festival, was outraged by the tweets that the singer liked.
One called for Disney to be “defunded” for holding a Pride event.
Prior to the social media storm, Donald had been promoting Take That movie musical Greatest Days, appearing at its premiere in London on Thursday.
Gay rights activist Peter Tatchell told me: “Pride events should not be hosting artists who promote prejudice.
“I am sure Howard was booked without the organisers knowing about the intolerance that he has stoked.”
A spokesman for the festival said: “Howard Donald will no longer be playing at our event.
“We would like to offer our thanks to the public for alerting us to the situation.”
KOURTNEY KARDASHIAN had a very clear message for hubby Travis Barker.
She held up this sign as the Blink-182 drummer performed in LA on Friday.
Kourtney, took inspo from the band’s All The Small Things video in which a fan holds up the same sign.
It will be their first child together after tying the knot in Italy last year.
TY’S RIGHT MAN ELLA
LOVE Island star Ella Thomas’ big sis Monica has given Tyrique Hyde her seal of approval, despite a rocky start for the couple.
She told me: “I voted for Ella to match with Tyrique – she loves a tall, dark and handsome boy. She’s coming across so naturally.
“Obviously it was hard to see my little sister upset, and I wanted to get the next flight out to Majorca and give her a huge hug.
“Seeing her in the bottom two was hard, but I’ve managed to hold it together.
“This is the longest I’ve ever gone without speaking to her, it feels like the worst break up I’ve ever been through.”
Monica was with Ella when they met Tyrique in a London club last year, she added: “We were introduced to this good looking guy, who turned out to be Tyrique, it was very brief, but he was confident and chatty.”
It comes as I can reveal host Maya Jama jets back to Majorca next week for a shock dumping. No-one is safe in the villa . . .
CAUGHT LIVE
Roger Waters @ O2 Arena
★★★★★
PINK FLOYD’S Roger Waters warned: “This might be the last time” – but on this form he looks some way off retirement.
The rock legend and his band charged through Pink Floyd classics and choice solo cuts.
It was a fantastic spectacle and proved that nothing is quite as hot, or satisfying, as Roger Waters live.
IT seems Noel Gallagher’s split from Sara MacDonald is getting to him.
The rocker has opened up about how his “challenging personal issues”, after the couple ended their 12-year marriage.
On The Matt Morgan podcast he said: “Whenever I used to think about the future I was always just living in the moment.
“But as I’ve got older . . . as I’ve got challenging personal issues at the minute, I find myself projecting into the future of what is my life going to look like a year from now.”
Chin up, Noel, an Oasis reunion might cheer you up . . .
