One Direction singer Niall Horan and British singing sensation Ellie Goulding were reportedly busted while they were recently locking lips.

According to reports, Goulding and Horan were spotted kissing at the V Festival on Aug. 18. despite the fact that they were flanked by bodyguards to hide their PDA. "Niall allegedly launched himself" into the "Lights" singer for a kiss during the Kings Of Leon set, a new report claims according to Hollywood Life.

However, 1D fans shouldn't be too surprised by rumors that the singers are secretly dating being that Horan publicly hinted about his infatuation with the blonde beauty on a number of occasions.

In a recent interview with GQ magazine, the boy band singer admitted that he had a crush on the 26-year-old singer. "I'll say one thing: Ellie Goulding-wow. She's absolutely amazing looking," said the 19-year-old heartthrob.

Furthermore, on Aug. 13, Niall asked his fans to support Ellie's latest single, tweeting, "Everyone my good friend @EllieGoulding Has a huge tune out right now! And I really want her t get #1, go get it."

The pair have also exchanged flirtatious tweets back in July when Niall tweeted, "Just listening to some @elliegoulding! What a talent she is! Beautiful voice!" She responded, "I knew you loved me hahaha."

Fortunately for Niall, the "I Need Your Love" singer recently split from boyfriend actor Jeremy Irvine.

The band--Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, Liam Payne, Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson--are scheduled to drop their third studio album later this on year, following their 2012 record, "Take Me Home."
