If you’re a One Direction fan or, more specifically, a Harry Styles fan, you might like this news – a CLONE of Hazza is about to be unleashed into the world.

Alright, before you scream so hard your faces just slide off your head, that’s not exactly true but it is correct that his cousin Ben Selley has auditioned for the X Factor as part of his band Concept.

Ben could be forgiven for wanting Haz to give him a boost up the showbiz ladder but he chose not to blurt out he was related to the 1D star during his audition.

And it seems keeping his celebrity links under wraps helped because the lads sailed through and went on to compete for a place in judge Louis Walsh’s final six.

An insider told The Sun on Sunday: “Ben told Harry he was going for the show and he backed him. But he didn’t tell anyone on the show that he was his cousin until this weekend. He and the rest of the band wanted to go through because they deserved it, or not at all.

“They don’t see themselves as 1D successors. They are more rock inspired.”

Are all of Harry’s relatives set to conquer the world of music? Only time will tell...
