Yes, yes, we know - it's a hard life bringing you the juice...

Rita Ora joined the rest of the universe when she admitted backstage that she has a crush on Harry Styles, saying: “Everyone has a crush. I mean, me and the whole industry probably have a crush on Harry Styles. Everyone’s acting like it’s a shock but, I’m sorry, I think I’m just the only one admitting it. I like his hair. I just think he’s funny and cute.” (credit:Getty)

Rugby star Ben Foden managed to drag himself away from his mates (and the free bar) to meet up with his missus, Una Healy, following The Saturdays' performance at the festival.
