Harry Styles’ mum reckons he’s ‘just like any other son’. The former One Direction star, 29, was born to Anne Twist, 55, and Des Styles, 65, in Redditch in 1994.

Harry also has an older sister, 32-year-old Gemma Styles, and while their parents are no longer together, his family is still extremely close, with Anne lifting the lid on the superstar’s home life in a rare interview.

Reflecting on her Grammy-winning son’s global fame, she began: ‘He said, “Mums don’t always know,” but I always thought he had something. ’In conversation with Mail Online, Anne admitted she doesn’t make too much of a fuss about her son’s celebrity status, despite, of course, being full of pride for his achievements. ‘He’s just the same as he has always been,’ she said. ‘As a very little boy, he was very much like he is now, just a smaller version. ’Anne is also equally proud of both of her children, whether it’s Harry scooping Brit Awards and making chart history, or Gemma fronting a podcast and speaking about mental health with her nine million Instagram followers.

She added: ‘I’m very proud of both Harry and his older sister Gemma and the adults they’ve become. ‘They’re both really hard-working, they’ve got good morals and they’re really kind people. ‘I know it sounds like a dreadful cliché but as long as they’re happy, that’s the most important thing. ’As for her bond with her grown-up kids, Anne assured they’re all ‘close’ and it’s merely ‘geography’ keeping them apart, what with Harry jetting to a different country for various sold-out shows every other week. ‘We all see each other when we can. ’When he is at home in Holmes Chapel, Cheshire, Anne said Harry will walk in and ‘open the fridge’ immediately, just like any other son.
