Chris Martin has spoken about his love for Harry Styles, saying that he was “too enamoured with his haircut” to remember their conversation when they met.

The Coldplay frontman told BBC Radio 1’s Zane Lowe of his crush on the One Direction star.

Talking about meeting Styles at a Coldplay show, he said: “I was like this: ‘I was pretty sure I was a straight guy before’ – I was having a hot flush.”

He also described One Direction as the “biggest band in the world”, and praised them for releasing “great” songs.

He said: “I don’t think that any of them are going to go solo. I think they appreciate their chemistry from watching their movie…”

Coldplay are preparing to release their new album Ghost Stories on May 19.

The full hour-long interview with Chris Martin will be broadcast at 8pm tonight (Monday, April 28) on Zane Lowe’s BBC Radio 1 show.

Listen live on BBC Radio 1, via mobile and the BBC iPlayer Radio app. You will also be able to watch the interview on Radio 1’s YouTube channel after 9pm on Monday April, 28.
