Strictly Come Dancing star Nancy Dell'Olio has claimed that One Direction are romantically interested in her.
The Italian entrepreneur, 50, said that the teenage boyband were "fascinated" by her and camped outside her dressing room during a promotional tour break in Dublin.


"They seemed very fascinated," she told The Sun. "They are going in the right direction if they are attracted to me. I'm glad they are not interested in the likes of Cheryl Cole."
Dell'Olio further speculated that the 'Gotta Be You' group are "bored of young women" and long to be educated by females with more "experience".
"To be with a mature person allows you to read books together and to learn fast," she added.
Dell'Olio suggested earlier this week that her Strictly partner Anton du Beke was after a romance during their time on the show.
"Anton may have been attracted to me," he said. "Who isn't? We were always flirting. I think he was probably intimidated by me so he was holding his emotions in."
