Alex Scott reveals secret smooch with 'very famous' boyband hunk
Lioness fave Alex Scott has revealed she secretly scored – with a boyband hunk.
The TV pundit teased she had locked lips with a “very famous” pop performer from a “big” group.
And showbiz sleuths suspect One Direction idol Harry Styles could be the guy.
Alex, 38, admitted the brief romance happened in 2019 when she was in Strictly Come Dancing.
But the One Show host decided not to continue the romance over fears it would damage her blossoming TV career.

“I had nothing to lose, but kept telling myself that my media career was just starting.
“If I got papped with this guy, I would always be known as ‘so-and-so’s girlfriend’ and people would think I’d only reached a certain level by riding off the back of his fame.

Although it is not known which singer Alex kissed, Harry, believed to have been single at the time, could be a contender.
Strictly host Claudia Winkleman told millions of viewers live on air in 2019 that Alex had an admirer from One Direction.

Alex, who revealed in How (Not) To Be Strong she dated fellow Lioness Kelly Smith but refused to be drawn further on her sexuality, added: “If you’re reading this, Mr Boy Band, now you know why I kept you at a distance.
“But you are a very nice, cute guy, and who knows – maybe we’ll end up at the same after-party again soon.”
