But while Ellie Goulding and Niall Horan are yet to confirm that they're an item, it seems that One Direction fans have already been very vocal about the possible romance.
Admitting that she'd received some 'interesting' tweets since the story broke, the pop singer has sparked a backlash on the social networking site.

While the 19-year-old boyband member has spoken out in the past about having a 'crush' on Ellie, it seems that the 26-year-old Burn singer is a little more guarded thanks to his fanbase.
'I will say this, I’ve definitely had some ‘interesting’ tweets since the story came out,' she admitted. 'Thankfully I’m able to take it all with a pinch of salt because I’ve been told to be that way.'
But the blonde singer didn't seem too worried about the level of attentions she was received from hysterical fans, admitting that she appreciates their 'passion.'
