'TOWIE's Lauren Pope eyes date with One Direction's Liam Payne

The Only Way Is Essex cast member Lauren Pope has revealed her intention to date One Direction's Liam Payne.
Speaking to the Daily Star, the reality TV star said she would like to follow the lead of Caroline Flack, who is reportedly in a relationship with Payne's bandmate Harry Styles.
Pope declared: "There is a really good looking one in One Direction - Liam! I would love to go out on a date with him.
"Maybe me and Caroline could have a little double date together. Her with Harry, me with Liam. There could be a One Direction cameo in TOWIE."
Praising the Xtra Factor presenter, Pope added: "Me and my friend keep joking and calling each other Caroline because we go out with younger men.
"But I say 'go Caroline', because Harry is fit. If I was a bloke I'd fancy her because she's just herself and comfortable with that - and I love her hair."
Her most recent relationship with fellow TOWIE star Kirk Norcross - who is seven years her junior - ended in July.
But Pope admitted that she could never embark on a long-term romance with a man younger than her, adding: "He was too young for me. He was 23 and I was 29. I think you start to notice the age difference when you get to that point where you want to get married and have kids."
