He is undoubtedly one of the most famous men to come out of the X Factor to date making up one fifth of One Direction.
So it’s no surprise that the latest series of the singing competition features a Harry Styles lookalike –who is not doubt hoping success lies in his curls.
Airing on Saturday 24-year-old Aaron Dale will try his luck in front of Louis Walsh, Gary Barlow, Nicole Scherzinger and Sharon Osbourne.
Lookalike: Aaron Dale (L) auditions for the X Factor - he is a Harry Styles (R) lookalike
The lookalike who is from Middlesborough is set to perform One Direction’s What Makes You Beautiful but whether he’s got more than just the looks is yet to be known.
Following his audition he ended up going in the wrong direction ending up in the loo and needing judge Nicole Scherzinger to show him the way out of the audition room.
The former Pussycat Doll was more impressed with Next of Kin - a trio of brothers from Essex who write songs with their mother.
She's back: Stephanie Woods made it through to the judges houses when she was just 14 - she is now 20
Recognize: Sharon was Stephanie's original mentor so finds the performance emotional
Can't hold back: The audition ends in tears all round as the women discuss the past
The group - Nathan Bass, 32, Kieran, 27 and Mark, 29 - had a top 20 hit when they were teenagers, toured with Westlife and were billed as the UK's version to Hanson, but now work in a factory packing boxes.
Youngest brother Kieran tells the judges they ‘just want another chance at it’ and their performance moves Scherzinger to tears and gets them a standing ovation from the panel.
Not everyone is quite so impressive with 33-year-old Samantha Harper's vibrato vocals confusing the judges so much they think the cleaner from Port Talbot is singing in Welsh.
Sing your heart out: Giles Potter (L) and James McDonald (R) made sure they put on very impressive shows for the judges
Next of kin: Nathan 32, Kieran 27 and Mark 29 are three brothers from Colchester
Emotional: Nicole Scherzinger dabs her eye as she cries during Next of Kin's performance
All about the reds: Louise Harper (L) strums it out and Lydia Lucy (R) is a dance student
Sharon Osbourne is moved to tears on the show when a face from the past reappears to audition again.
Stephanie Woods, 20, got to the judges houses six years ago but was sent home by Osbourne after an unsuccessful try-out at her Los Angeles mansion.
The singer, from Skelmersdale, West Lancashire, said Osbourne ‘genuinely seemed sad she had to send me home’ and decided to audition for her again.
Hippie shake: Lydia 23, and Ryan 21 both work in telesales and are from Blackpool

She said: ‘When I heard Sharon was going to be a judge this year I thought 'wow, how amazing is it going to be to see her again and for Sharon to see me as a young woman now'.’
She told the judges: ‘I've said if I don't get through today or this year then it's not meant to be but I want it so bad now, I'm so ready".’
An emotional Osbourne tells Woods she ‘really cracked up’ when she sent her home the first time before wiping away more tears.
Suited and booted: J-Koda is a 23-year- old from Blackpool who is currently unemployed
Tears also seem to be on the cards for 25-year-old bus driver from Nottingham, James McDonald, who is seen looking emotional following his performance of Stevie Wonder’s Lately.
It’s not all emotional though with laughs looking set to come from J-Koda, an unemployed 23-year-old from Blackpool.
There’s also a further reunion on the cards as Rough Copy, Sterling 28, Kaz 24 and Joe 26, make a return after first auditioning back in 2012.
At the time the group got through to the judges houses however they were forced to pull out due to visa issues, which hopefully have now been resolved.
The X Factor returns on Saturday at 8pm on ITV
