One Direction are "clashing" with each other over their musical choices.

Last week, The Daily Star claimed that member Harry Styles was locking horns with the rest of the band as he wants to make 1D "cooler" - with Niall Horan and Louis Tomlinson said to be less than impressed by his ideas.

A source told the tabloid: "Harry loves being in the band and respects and loves his bandmates. But he's very ambitious and thinks they should be growing up more and becoming more credible.

"Their third album Midnight Memories was already a lot less pop but Harry wants to push it further.

"He thinks their next album is the perfect time to create a much edgier and more rock'n' roll image and he's already writing songs that he wants them to include on the record."

They continued: "The problem is the rest of the band fear if Harry starts changing their style he's going to take over the whole thing.

"They all have different ideas on what direction they want to take musically and they are becoming more and more vocal about it.

"Niall and Louis especially are worried about turning their backs on a pop sound and changing a winning formula. The fear is that if Harry doesn't get his way he could end up walking out and going solo.

"He doesn't want to be five years down the line and still doing boyish pop tunes."

"No ones clashing we are just having a bit of Family time after hitting the road for 3 years."
