Lily Collins ‘makes a move’ on Niall Horan after singer admits he would ‘love to date her’
Fans noticed the actress was suddenly paying more attention to Niall on social media following his admission
FANS believe Lily Collins is making a move on One Direction's Niall Horan, after the star admitted he has a crush on the actress.
Singer Niall, 24, admitted that the stunning movie star - who is the daughter of singer Phil Collins - would be his "dream celebrity date" during a recent interview with an Irish radio station.
Spin South West radio hosts Ed and Meghann asked the star: "Name one girl you would love to date."
To which he replied: "Lily Collins."
Lily, 28, seemed to be happy with his answer as she went on to follow the singer on Instagram after the radio chat.
The To The Bone star then proceeded to like several of Niall's pictures, something that was instantly noticed by the pair's followers.
Fans began speculating that the actress was trying to get the singer's attention as one pointed out: "Lily Collins has been liking nearly ever picture of Niall's so what I'd like to know is why haven't they started dating yet (sic)."
While another stated: "I always see Niall and Lily Collins liking each other's pictures, can they like get together."
Niall has previously revealed some of his other celebrity crushes over the years and was believed to have had brief romances with the likes of Selena Gomez, Ellie Goulding Demi Lovato and model Barbara Palvin.
While Lily has previously dated actors Taylor Lautner, Zac Efron and Jamie Campbell Bower.
Lily was most recently pictured enjoying a romantic trip in Italy with former classmate Jason Vahn in July, but the pair have not been spotted together in recent weeks.
However, Niall previously claimed he is too busy for love as he focuses on his solo music career.
The One Direction star has had great success with his second single Slow Hands but despite being world famous he hasn't got time to meet anyone special.
The Our Town singer told Notion magazine that his life is too hectic to even think about dating.
He said: "We' re talking 11-12 hour days, every day which is like work, studio, home, bed, eat, you know - I have no time for Tinder!"
