Harry Styles’ mother, Anne Twist, has disclosed that he nearly missed out the opportunity of getting famous.

While discussing her son’s career on the Spinning Plates podcast recently, she said that he initially denied signing up for X Factor – the reality series that jumpstarted One Direction.

Anne Twist recalled, “Harry Styles used to work in a bakery after school. I remember him coming home and telling me he’d been in the back kitchen singing.”

“One of the customers commented on it and said something about he should go to this local talent show. He came home, told me about that, and was like, 'nah I don’t wanna do that,' ” she added.

Then, the vocalist’s mum decided to cease opportunity on her own and sneakily submitted his profile to the competition.

She only told hum when the acceptance letter came in.

“The letter came through, so I basically said to him, 'Okay, I’ve got you this audition, but it’s totally up to you. If you don’t wanna do it, that’s fine, but I just got it just in case,' Anne Twist revealed.

Harry Styles gave it another thought and eventually ended up going.
