One Direction singer Harry Styles has revealed he enjoys being naked as he finds it "very liberating."
Speaking in a new book, Dare to Dream: Life As One Direction, The X Factor star admitted he "feels free" when he isn't wearing any clothes.
The 17-year old explained: "I have great memories of being in the [X Factor] house, especially all of the times I went naked. Stripping off is very liberating, I feel so free,"
"It's always a spur-of-the-moment thing, but no-one seemed to mind. I think Mary [Byrne] secretly liked it. I'd become a lot more confident during my time in the show through being in front of so many people, and my confidence came out in my nakedness."
Harry continued: "I also used to moon a bit at school because it made me laugh, so I was carrying it on. Sometimes I was totally starkers and sometimes I wore a thong."
"My friend Nick bought me a gold snake-print thong for my birthday and I took it into the house with me because I thought it'd be funny. Then I started wearing it."
Styles went on to recall: "One time I had to do a naked video clip for ITV2 where I was standing there with no clothes on and the boys had to pass various objects across me, keeping certain parts covered.
"That was the plan, but at one point Zayn [Malik] didn't move the book he was holding quickly enough and the cameraman got a bit of an eyeful. I think you could safely say I'm not shy."
One Direction look likely to score their first UK No.1 single this weekend, with debut track What Makes You Beautiful expected to sell over 100,000 copies.
