Harry Styles slapped with fine after driving to pick up girlfriend Taylor Russell from train station
THEY have been inseparable this summer after going public with their romance.
And Harry Styles appeared to be playing the perfect boyfriend after driving to meet his girlfriend Taylor Russell on the platform at London’s St. Pancras International.
The former One Direction star was spotted arriving at the station on Friday night as the Canadian actress returned to the capital following a whirlwind trip to France for Paris Fashion Week.
But despite his sweet gesture, all did not end well for the pop star as he was slapped with a fine.
An onlooker said: “Harry quickly parked up on the double yellows.
“You could tell he didn’t want to be late for Taylor after her long train journey so he quickly dashed into the station.”

I am sure that the £130 penalty was a drop in the ocean for the As It Was singer after our sister column Bizarre revealed yesterday that he earned £105,000 per day last year thanks to the massive success of his hit album Harry’s House.
Taylor looked sensational in Paris as she attended the star-studded Loewe show in a steel coat and black leotard.
Speaking at the venue, Taylor revealed that she is “superstitious” and appeared to hint that she did not want to jinx the honeymoon period with Harry.
Asked what she is “manifesting”, she said: “Isn’t it bad luck to say what you’re manifesting and that it doesn’t come true?

“Because you get the dopamine release from saying it out loud. I think that might be the case, but don’t hold me to that.”
I first revealed in July that Harry was dating the Bones And All actress — and if their loved-up walks in London are anything to go by, it appears that he is smitten.
The couple were recently seen riding around the capital on electric Lime bikes before grabbing a coffee together in Newington Green, North London.
Harry has been spending more time in London while Taylor makes her stage debut in The Effect at the National Theatre.
And while Harry and his mum Anne Twist have seen the play, Harry was spotted with his dad Des Styles at the theatre earlier this week.
Harry’s House must have felt very empty without Taylor recently.
BEST BE UP FOR DEBATE
BIG Brother host Will Best has promised there will be plenty of lively debate in the house – as casting producers have scoured the country for the most opinionated wannabes to star in the upcoming series.
The presenter reckons fans will find it easy to relate to the mix of outspoken reality TV hopefuls.
He said: “Their discourse is going to be reflective of what people are talking about today.
“Everybody is a lot more confident with their opinions, and people’s belief systems form a big part of their identity now.”
Will credits his BB co-host and pal AJ Odudu for helping him land the gig – thanks to their natural chemistry.
The host, who has been dating his stylist girlfriend Tobi Rose for 12 years, said: “AJ and I have been good mates for over ten years.
“We can just have a laugh and get on really well. She is beautiful and tall. I am actually standing on a wooden box next to her behind the scenes.”
Savvy Will set up his own drinks brand Bloody – selling canned bloody Marys – in case he could no longer count on getting telly jobs.
He said: “I have always liked life outside of TV. You can’t get away from that fact that, in telly, it is somebody else’s call whether or not you work.”
He cut his teeth interviewing celebs on MTV and T4, recalling: “My first ever job was with Katie Price, which involved me interviewing her while she waxed my chest and gave me a full body fake tan.
“Robert Downey Jr didn’t like me very much because I kept trying to ask one more question as they were wrapping up.
“There was a very famous actor who was really grumpy with me. I won’t name him.”
At least he’ll be ready for anything.
Big Brother: The Launch airs next Sunday, 9pm, on ITV1, ITV2 and ITVX.
U PHEW!
THIS is the mind-blowing stage set which U2 unleashed on the first night of their 25-show Las Vegas residency.
The Irish rockers bedazzled 18,000 fans with a high-tech light show and a matrix of 167,000 speakers in the new £1.6billion Sphere venue.
Wearing his signature black wraparound glasses, frontman Bono banged out hit after hit in the 125-minute show, including With Or Without You, Beautiful Day and Where The Streets Have No Name.
The band followed up with another performance tonight too.
What troupers.
SINITTA is launching a new business to help women enjoy sex after the menopause.
The singer said at the Style For Stroke Foundation Jumpers For Joy launch on Wednesday: “It’s called Sins Angels and it’s for women in their 50s, 60s, 70s and onwards.
“It’s to help you realise there is life after the menopause.”
James’s cheeky return
JAMES BLUNT makes his long-awaited comeback next week with the ballad The Girl That Never Was.
I’m told the moving song is about loss and has emotional lyrics which will suit his voice well.
An insider tells me: “James shot the music video last week so fans won’t have to wait long to see him back in action. He’s got an album of music ready to unleash too.”
Ever the joker, the You’re Beautiful singer encouraged his male fans to shell out for tickets for his upcoming shows next year on The Who Used To Be Tour by tweeting: “An arena full of women. Lads, what are you waiting for?”
Cheeky, James.
ED HAS £18.2M PAYDAY
ED SHEERAN paid himself £18.2million last year after his firm raked in nearly £65,000 a day from record sales, I can reveal.
Ed Sheeran Limited made £23.7million fuelled by sales of his 2021 album Equals.
But the figures do not include his album Subtract, which came out in May, or Autumn Variations, which was released on Friday.
The Shape Of You hitmaker is worth an estimated £300million.
Ed is one of the nicest guys in the business, so it looks like his wealth hasn’t gone to his head.
TRAV ‘N’ TAY GOT THE OK
IT appears that Taylor Swift’s squad have breathed a sigh of relief now that she’s dating American football player Travis Kelce.
Her whirlwind romance with The 1975 bad boy Matty Healy earlier this year seemingly had them rattled.
A source told me: “Her friends have encouraged her to go for someone less controversial.
“They think Travis is a much better match for her.”
And if Travis doesn’t turn out to be The One, Swifties can expect a smash heartbreak anthem out of it.
CONE CLONE ZARA IS LIKE MADONNA
ZARA Larsson gives Madonna a run for her money as she poses for the new Jean Paul Gaultier campaign.
The Swedish pop star posed in a gold cone bra bodice as she was announced as the new ambassador for the Gaultier Divine fragrance.
Madonna debuted the iconic look by the French fashion designer during her 1990 Blond Ambition world tour.
Sharing the news on Instagram, Zara said: “What’s more divine than being a woman?”
I couldn’t agree more, Zara.
PAIN SPURS JAMES
JAMES Arthur has revealed he will be ‘eternally heartbroken’ - despite finding happiness with his girlfriend Jessica Grist and daughter Emily.
The singer, whose single Just Us drops next Friday, said he has learned to live alongside pain.
Speaking to Biz on Sunday about tapping into heartbreak for his music, he said: “Because of what I have been through in my life I will eternally be heartbroken in some way.
“I guess I have had some abandonment issues and feeling like I didn’t belong when I was younger - that is what I have built my artist persona on.”
He added: “I find it easier to tap into pain because I know all about it - it never goes away.
“When you go through trauma you learn to live alongside it, you don’t ever get rid of it.”

But James has plenty to smile about as he prepares to kick off his arena tour next year following the release of his fifth album Bitter Sweet Love in January.
And after listening to his new single, I can’t wait for the rest of the album.
