Lou explained that she never dated or had sex with any of the group. She said: "That was the thing, I was with them right at the beginning to right to the end, you can’t sleep with them, it’s kind of important [if you want] to keep your job. Again, [the band are] a lot younger than me so we were on a friendship level. No, never [dated or slept with any of them]."

Lou then revealed that assistants sometimes slept with the boys but they were fired after. She added: "Some people would come in, like assistants and stuff, and think it was love and obviously it’s not and it’s just the quickest way to lose your job. Because then they’ve got a new girlfriend and she’s in the room and they don’t want you in there."

As for the crew in general, Lou, who dated a member of 1D's stage crew, said: "Everyone ends up falling out or sleeping together, or both, everyone knows everybody’s shit that’s just how it is."

Lou also spoke about Larry Stylinson. She said: "I still have millions of girls still asking me about Louis and Harry being gay. I don’t know where it came from, but it’s still very apparent, it’s such a huge thing. They are called ‘larrys’ – a larry is someone that buys into that conspiracy theory that they are a couple and that everything else is being set up to cover it up."

She continued: "They believe that me, management, the 'fake' girlfriends, it’s all a plot to cover it up. [It started] from very early on in One Direction. Honestly, it’s crazy. We’re 10 years later, sometimes I’ll do an Instagram Live… I’ll touch my face and one will write 'touch your face if larry is real' and they’ll screenshot it and then they’ve got their proof."

Harry and Louis have both repeatedly denied the rumours and called out fans and media for spreading them.
