Blonde pin-up and One Direction star Niall Horan has revealed he's after a lady friend who likes him for who he is and not for being a worldwide megastar (might be a tough gig, that).

Speaking to E! News the hunky singer, who confirmed he was single, said: "You have to find the one who... just sees you as a normal person, which is exactly what I am, and just like you for who you are and not because I'm in One Direction."

Meanwhile, curly-haired bandmate Harry has been spotted on a dinner date with brunette beauty Kendall Jenner.

Niall, who was last linked to singer Ellie Goulding was also quizzed on the band's frenzied arrival into LAX earlier in the week.

The superbly coiffed One Direction cuties got mobbed by packs of waiting paps as they touched down in LAX on Tuesday.

The boys looked understandably furious as they tried to battle their way through hordes of crowds to get to their waiting car.

Blonde pin-up Niall seethed: "I hate the paps!! Just got dragged to the floor by some idiot with a camera ! could have seen the fans aswell, but they messed it all up!"

"I wasn't expecting it," he told E!

"There was loads of paps - 50, 60 paps - and the fans were behind them.

"They start pushing each other, which meant we got pushed. Then someone pushed me and dragged me to the floor, and then it was all a bit crazy and Zayn was being dragged around.

"We felt bad afterward 'cause we kind of let down the fans, but it was actually the paps' fault 'cause they're weirdos."

In a video a posted by a fan of their arrival, in the midst of flashing bulbs and and hordes of fans and photographers scrabbling to get a glimpse of the band, you can hear paps hurling obscenities at the boys.

One fan tweeted: "The video of the boys getting mobbed by the paps breaks my whole heart. Not fair to abuse them with words so they say sonething [sic]."

"The boys have left LAX. They were seriously mobbed by paparazzi, not fans."

"Zayn seriously wasnt happy with the paparazzi at LAX tonight. He was doing the finger and telling them to back away from the others. Good boy."

While another fan joked that Louis didn't seem that fazed by the whole thing: "The boys were being mobbed yet Louis kept yelling "WESTSIDE!" And people actually ask me why I love him so much."

"I just watched a video of the boys getting mobbed & you can hear liam & niall saying its crazy then all you hear is louis say "westside" LOL."

The boys, who are set to release their third album Midnight Memories next week, have jetted over to LA ahead of promo and their mammoth 1D day on 23 November - which will see them team up with Robbie Williams, Celine Dion, Simon Cowell, The Muppets and more for the 7-hour 1D Day LIVE stream.
