Niall Horan, Brooke Vincent Twitter Flirting [PHOTO]: One Direction Singer Says 'Corrie' Star is His 'Ideal Woman' Despite Boyfriend Josh McEachran

19-year-old Irish singer Niall Horan has allegedly been flirting with 20-year-old "Corrie" star Brooke Vincent on Twitter and has called her his "ideal woman." The two even posed for a photo together during Niall's One Direction concert in Manchester last month, spurring rumors of a romance. This news would be all well and done, but Brooke is currently dating Josh McEachran who is a football player on Middlesbrough F.C.

Niall has mainly been romantically linked to 20-year-old pop singer Demi Lovato in the past but has openly talked about Miss Vincent on occasion. About two years ago, Horan posted to following tweet to his twitter account:

@perlaruizl i like brooke vincent and demi lovato

Whether he was trying to flirt with both girls or just pay them each a compliment is unclear, but what is clear is that he fancied them at one point.

These new rumors about his romance with Brooke Vincent are most likely just hearsay considering her current (seemingly healthy) relationship with McEachran, but sources close to the One Direction singer say otherwise. In regards to Brooke and Josh being an item, a source said, "Niall has never made any secret of fancying Brooke so he's chuffed."

Niall was also linked to art student Amy Green in the fall of last year. The two were spotted out on a number of "dates" but eventually called it quits due to Horan's schedule with his band.

Again, the biggest rumor about Horan's romantic life is that he and Demi Lovato have an attraction to each other. Both have publically complimented each other, with Lovato saying of Horan:  

"He has a lot of great qualities. He is an amazing ­listener and makes me laugh a lot, two of the main qualities I look for. He knows I have a little crush on him, and we enjoy having dinner when we get the chance. We speak and message all the time. I don't want a relationship over Skype; we are both in a place where we feel zero pressure to rush."

So who do you think Niall is actually pining after? Is he still hoping for more Lovato love or maybe he is holding out for Brooke to end it with Josh?
