Niall Horan exchanging messages with Marnie Simpson

One Direction singer Niall Horan has been exchanging messages with reality TV star Marnie Simpson.

Simpson, who split from Lewis Bloor just weeks ago, says she has been in touch with Horan and singer James Arthur, reports dailymail.co.uk.

"I've been speaking to them. We've said hello and I've spoken over DMs with both of them," Simpson told The Sun newspaper.

"It's just friendly - they're both big fans of the show ('Geordie Shore')," she added.

While Arthur confirmed his relationship with his on-off dancer girlfriend Jessica Grist in February, Horan is currently single.
