Lonely Harry Styles dines with neighbours

Pop star Harry Styles regularly turns up at his neighbours' home in London because he is "lonely", according to renowned U.K. scientist Lord Robert Winston.

The 75-year-old fertility expert, the father of One Direction documentary producer Ben Winston, has revealed Harry, who lives near his home in the British capital, often visits to enjoy a bowl of soup with him and his wife.

"The great thing about Harry Styles is that he recognises that celebrity is completely pointless," Winston told school pupils during a talk, according to Britain's The Sun newspaper. "Of the boys in One Direction, he is the one that impresses me the most because he knows this is all transparent.

"At the end of the day, his family and attitudes are much more important. It is very probable I'll be sitting down with my wife on a Friday evening... there'll be a knock on the door and the person who knocks on the door will be Harry Styles.

"He lives pretty close and he's lonely... So Harry comes in because he likes my wife's chicken soup."

The One Direction star is reportedly dating model Kendall Jenner and the pair was spotted enjoying a vacation in St. Barts together earlier this month (Jan16).

Kendall's half-sister Khloe Kardashian also confirmed the new romance, telling ET.com, "Do I think they're dating? Yes... I don't know if they're like boyfriend-girlfriend. Nowadays I don't know. People are weird with stuff. So, I don't know their title. But I mean, they were in St. Barts together hanging out, so to me that's dating."
