Harry Styles is currently on his first headline tour of the US with One Direction

The DJ who's alleged to have had a hot romance with One Direction star Harry Styles wasn't at work at radio station Heart South Coast FM on Monday.

Lucy Horobin's co-presenter Jason King made light out of her absence on their breakfast show, which is broadcast from Hampshire.

'Over the weekend you may have picked something up in the newsagents and read something which may have shocked you,' he quipped.

'I'd like to confirm the rumours are true and she has taken time off - to read Fifty Shades Of Grey and tell us all about it tomorrow.'

It's claimed that Lucy hung out with Harry, then 17, for 3 months last year while she was temporarily estranged from her husband - and before the 1D hottie romanced Caroline Flack.

When reports of the pair's flirtation emerged over the weekend, Lucy suffered an intense Twitter backlash from angry One Direction fans and has now deleted her account.

':(,' she Tweeted on Sunday, indicating her sad face.
