One Direction's Niall Horan Dating Rumors 2013 [PHOTO]: 'The Only Way Is Essex' Star Sam Faiers Reveals Crush on 'Midnight Memories' Heartthrob

Sam Faiers of the British television show "The Only Way is Essex" recently revealed which One Direction member she has a crush on. Her answer might surprise her show's audience that is familiar with her taste in "vain" men, though.

"I really fancy Niall," Sam told Closer magazine. "He's a normal guy and would be a good laugh to hang out with I reckon. He looks like he has a good sense of humor, which is always a plus!"

Would you like to see this crush develop into a real romance?

Niall recently made headlines for apparently getting back together with his ex-girlfriend Zoe Whelan.

Niall wants everything kept completely under the radar, as he feels they simply won't survive if they're being watched," an insider explained. "But the truth is, he's mad about her and when he's in Ireland they're spending almost every second together."

"Over the past three months she's flown out on four different occasions to meet him over in London and be close to him. Although they would prefer to keep the relationship quiet, they actually get to hook up together a lot more than you'd think and Zoe is a regular face backstage at their gigs," the insider explained.

The source added: "All the other lads in the band are aware of how much he likes her and even though things have been on and off at times, he's always felt she was the only girl he wanted a proper relationship with."

But a recent Twitter exchange with Niall might have disproved these rumors.
