ONE DIRECTION star HARRY STYLES put his romantic troubles behind him on Friday (01Jan13) by celebrating his birthday with a saucy lapdance.

The British pop star, who recently split from fellow singer Taylor Swift, turned 19 on Friday and he marked the occasion by heading out in London with a group of friends for a second consecutive evening.

Styles partied at a nightclub in the east of the city before heading back to a friend's house, and pictures from the night have now emerged online, showing the singer being given a lapdance by a scantily-clad woman.

The brunette apparently arrived at the party dressed as a policewoman and stripped off before she was pictured dancing in front of Styles wearing nothing but transparent black underwear.

Styles enjoyed a previous birthday night out in London on Thursday (31Jan13) with friends including his ex-girlfriend Caroline Flack and actor James Corden.
