“He’s my friend. I’ve always been a girl [who] hangs out with boys, and I’m not going to change that, even though people write stuff about me,” Barbara told DigitalSpy.com. “I play football – I’m not going to change my personality. He’s a lovely guy – fun, Irish, sarcastic all the time. But, I’m sarcastic too.”

As for his 1D band mates, she said, “I like them too, they’re all very nice people. They’re all so hot.”

Barbara and Niall were last spotted leaving the Gary Barlow New Year’s Eve Concert at Westminster City Hall in December.
