THEY were first spotted enjoying a late-night burger at Five Guys in London last month.
But just a few weeks later, Harry Styles and Olivia Dean got a taste of Spain as they were spotted at the Kalorama festival in Madrid.

The As It Was singer and rising neo-soul star were spotted watching Sam Smith at the Spanish showcase.
And in a sweet moment, Harry was seen resting his head on Olivia’s shoulder during Sam’s emotional track I’m Not The Only One.
But it appeared that the pair were all partied out, as they discreetly hugged pals and said their goodbyes during the middle of Sam’s raunchy song Unholy.
It came after Olivia performed at the festival and played her hit song Dive along with her new track Time.
An insider said: “Harry loves festivals and enjoyed his time with Olivia in Madrid. It was the perfect weekend after Olivia put on a stunning performance, and they both loved watching their favourite artists together.”
A source close to Olivia told Biz on Sunday the pair were good friends. Harry broke up with Canadian actress Taylor Russell in May after I revealed they were dating last year.
Olivia rose to fame earlier this year when she was nominated for Best New Artist, Artist of the Year and Best Pop Act at the Brit Awards.
The singer, who went to London talent academy the Brit School, revealed that her three nods at the awards were a “full-circle moment” in her life.
On Friday, Harry was pictured flexing his fashion muscles with a surprise appearance at London Fashion Week.
The former One Direction star was spotted in the front row with Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour at designer SS Daley’s show.
After the glamour of the fashion world, Harry joined mum Anne Twist to watch his sister Gemma Styles talk about her new self-help book, Why Am I Like This? at Bush Hall in West London in the evening.
Half the world is on guest list to Oasis
THEY are the hottest tickets in town, but some lucky A-listers may get on the guest list for next year’s epic Oasis reunion concerts.
I’m told Liam and Noel Gallagher hope to sort out gig passes for close friends and family.

Kate Moss, The Beckhams, The Stone Roses, Chris Moyles, Happy Mondays, Bob Mortimer, Peter Crouch and Johnny Marr are all in with a chance of being hooked up, a music insider tells me.
My source said: “Even though the gigs are almost a year away, plenty of high-profile pals are being lined up to attend.
“These nights are going to go down in history and there will be plenty of celebs there. It will be as rock ’n’ roll as it was back in the day.”
Yesterday some fans were outraged after the final ballot sale for the band’s last Wembley gigs descended into chaos.
Tickets for the two farewell shows – on September 27 and 28 – went on sale yesterday at 8.30am via Ticketmaster.
Only fans who received a ballot code by 9pm on Friday had a chance to buy, with a limit of two tickets per person.
Officially priced from £74.25 to £206.25, including fees, tickets were released in three 90-minute blocks throughout the day.
Despite efforts to avoid the dynamic pricing controversy that plagued last month’s general sale, fans faced frustration.
Many reported technical glitches on Ticketmaster.
One posted on Reddit: “Getting this message after getting the code and getting through the queue . . . ‘Something went wrong . . . An error occurred and we could not reserve your tickets’.”

Banks gets full credit
AZEALIA BANKS delivered a stunning performance as she kicked off her Back To The Union Jack tour in London.
The US rapper wore a denim co-ord for her show at the O2 Academy Brixton on Friday, part of a series of eight UK concerts.

Earlier this week, the 212 hitmaker defended Taylor Swift after she received an unpleasant tweet from tech billionaire Elon Musk.
In an online post, Taylor had publicly backed Kamala Harris in the run-up to the US presidential election and referred to herself as a “childless cat lady”.
But bizarrely, Elon responded: “I will give you a child.”
Azealia tweeted that Tay should “sue him for loads of cash and level up to be the most undefeatable richest woman in the history of music”.
All hail, girl power.
D.C. give taste of future
FONTAINES D.C. gave their London supporters an exciting taste of what to expect at next summer’s Finsbury Park headline show.
The quintet, fronted by Grian Chatten, played two back-to-back sets, treating adoring fans to new material accompanied by some back-catalogue classics such as Boys In The Better Land and Jackie Down The Line.

Undoubted highlights included the instantly well received Favourite and a massive closing rendition of Starbuster, both from their latest album Romance.
The Fontaines’ change in musical direction and reinvented image has led to a great summer for them, with a critically acclaimed Friday night slot on Glastonbury’s Park Stage and headline-worthy performances at the Reading and Leeds Festivals.
Antonio is F1 to watch
AFTER the huge success of football drama Ted Lasso, I can reveal Apple TV is hoping to score a second winner with another sport-based show.
Spanish Hollywood star Antonio Banderas has landed in the UK to appear in a new series about motor racing.
The actor is set to start filming next week and the streaming giant hopes that the show will be a smash like Ted Lasso.
A telly source said: “Ted Lasso has been amazing for the UK.
“It’s a great formula and producers hope they apply the same magic to this show.”
Antonio is a keen follower of Formula 1 and has been spotted at several races over the years.
It sounds like he’s revved and ready to go . . .
Chappell kicks off tour
CHAPPELL ROAN puts her best foot forward on the first date of her dazzling UK tour.
The American singer-songwriter looked sensational in a pearl-encrusted bodysuit and cowboy boots at Manchester Academy on Friday night.

She played songs from her debut album, The Rise And Fall Of A Midwest Princess, which included Hot To Go! and Red Wine Supernova, to her adoring fans who sang every line.
It comes after Chappell, real name Kayleigh Amstutz, performed at the MTV Video Music Awards in a medieval warrior costume in New York earlier this week and scooped the gong for Best New Artist.
Niall’s hop-py birthday with Lewis
NIALL HORAN enjoyed a low-key birthday bash – ringing in his 31st alongside Lewis Capaldi at an Irish boozer in South West London.
The pair, who are close friends and have released music and a documentary together, appeared in good spirits as they enjoyed pints at the Hop Pole pub in Wandsworth on Friday night.
An onlooker said: “They were chatting to everyone and appeared really chilled and like any other punters.
“Someone said it was Niall’s birthday but they didn’t sing to him.
“A few fans asked for pictures and they happily posed for them.
“There was no fuss around them, though, they weren’t like your average celebs and they seemed really normal.
“They were in there for about three hours before heading off.
“They were jolly but weren’t worse for wear.”
Another regular said that they often see the pair, both right, in The Hop Pole together and Lewis has previously broken into song during drinking sessions.
They said: “They come in here fairly regularly with friends. They are sort of local celebrities. Lewis has a house nearby, as does Niall, and they both like the Hop Pole as it serves one of the best pints of Guinness in London.”
I hope Niall enjoyed a pint on the house.
Heidi’s boobed
HEIDI KLUM shows off her wild side as she hits the red carpet in California.
The German supermodel revealed some sideboob in a skimpy diamanté leopard-print mini- dress at People magazine’s 50th anniversary party at The Chain House, LA, on Friday night.

Earlier in the night, America’s Got Talent judge Heidi hosted the Fifth Emmy Nominees Night for the Hollywood Reporter magazine and American screen actors’ union SAG-AFTRA.
Heidi certainly knows how to party.
Duncan in flight fumble
DUNCAN JAMES has revealed he joined the Mile High Club on a flight home from America during the hard-partying early days of his band Blue.
He was speaking to Laura Hamilton on travel podcast the Mile Fly Club, run by video production firm Studio Bolt.

Duncan told her: “We’d gone out to LA and we had partied with all the Virgin Atlantic cabin crew and she was quite naughty.
“Anyway, she said to me, ‘Oh, I have to show you the crew restroom’.
“So she took me to the back of the plane, where there was this little door that led you downstairs and there was a crew room where there’s bunk beds.
“So we had a little play because you could get into the little bunk bed and close the curtain.”
Wild.
Matt on board for ship
MATTHEW WOLFENDEN has landed a hot new telly role, a year on from quitting Emmerdale.
The actor, who played hunk David Metcalfe in the soap for 17 years, will star in the upcoming second series of The Good Ship Murder – with his character involved in a same-sex tryst.
The Channel 5 mystery drama also features former soap faves Shayne Ward, Catherine Tyldesley and Claire Sweeney.
A source said: “Matt is buzzing about the new role. He is excited to get his teeth into something different. It marks a turning point in his career.”
In May he opened up about his split from actress wife Charley Webb, with whom he has his three kids.
He said: “We’re still finding our feet, and finding a way to do it well, and I think we are.”
