Robin was married to Harry's mum, Anne and Harry was the best man at the 2013 wedding.

He said at the time that his best man's speech was the most nerve wracking thing he's ever done.

He added: "I practiced on my own for days beforehand, on the sofa reciting it to myself. I tried to make it have a bit of everything.

"When everyone thought it was going to be really emotional, I pulled the rug out from under everyone's feet and injected a bit of humour. It seemed to go well."

Harry's rep said: "Harry's stepfather, Robin Twist, sadly passed away this week after a long battle with cancer.

"The family asks for privacy at this time."

Harry and his sister, Gemma, were both close to Robin who helped raise them as teenagers.

The One Direction Fandom have been flooding Twitter with messages of love and support for Harry, Anne and Gemma.
