The Wanted's Max George has stuck up for Harry Styles and Caroline Flack saying that he sees nothing wrong with them dating.
The age difference between The Xtra Factor presenter Caroline, 32, and One Direction star Harry, 17, has divided people's opinion after it was revealed that they are dating.
The couple split recently but reportedly got back together after Caroline returned from a holiday to Goa last week.
"Harry Styles is doing alright with Caroline Flack, isn't he? I'm delighted for the boy. I think it's great for both of them."
"She's like, 'So what if he's 15 years younger?' and he's like, 'Brilliant, she's 15 years older!"

One star that hasn't been so complimentary is former X Factor contestant Rebecca Ferguson who previously dated Harry's bandmate Zayn Malik.
In a recent interview with Fabulous magazine, she said: "I think there's something not right about Caroline and Harry's relationship.
"For me and Zayn it was different, because he was 18 so at least he could drive over to pick me up, we could go for a drink in a bar together and he was old enough to make his own decisions. But Harry is too young for that and there is so much more of an age gap between them."
Is the age gap really that bad?

The 10-year age gap with Guy Richie obviously wasn't enough for Madge, because her next flame was just 23 years old - while she was aged 51. It seemed like a fling at first, but they lasted a fair old while before splitting up in early 2010 (credit:WireImage.com)
Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon - 10 years(03 of09)

But just to prove that age-gap relationships don't always work out well, Ronnie Wood famously left wife Jo for Ekaterina Ivanova - who is a whopping 42 years his junior.
