London, June 15 (ANI): Cheryl Cole has revealed that she can understand why girls and women fancy One Direction's singer Harry Styles.

The singer spoke about the boy band's amazing success and how she liked to take credit for the boys.

I took credit for [One Direction] on Twitter - I Twittered the boys, saying 'Remember who really mentored you when Simon wasn't around! the Mirror quoted her as telling Sugarscape.

There was a couple of weekends where Simon [Cowell] was poorly and I had to mentor them, so I take full responsibility for all their success - and over the pond, I think it's all me, she said.

Cheryl was asked whether she fancies a bit of Hazza Styles, who is known to have a penchant for older women.

Harry? I've seen Harry in his boxer shorts, she said.

The 28-year-old singer insisted that Styles has always felt like a little brother to her.

Harry's a little brother type, but I get it, the girls go crazy for him - and the women, she added. (ANI)
