She's been subjected to a barrage of hate messages from Harry Styles' fans following reports of their rumoured romance.

So whilst she initially refused to draw any attention to the claims, Tess Ward has broken her silence in a bid to stop the slew of abuse.

Speaking to The Times, the 27-year-old food blogger revealed she had been forced to delete several of her social media accounts, leaving her solely with Instagram, although she admitted she was beginning to resent that too.

Rumours are swirling about Harry Styles' love life and they centre around blogger and chef Tess Ward.

We're jealous of anyone who can get that close to Harry Styles and now we've seen a picture of Tess we're even more envious. She's a beauty and she has a fabulous figure too and she wasn't afraid to show it off here in a bikini.

The bikini brand she's donning is obvious. The iconic stitching, neoprene triangle cups and multicoloured crocheted edging is associated with Kiini. Of course it went down so well in the celeb-set that everywhere then started to copy...

The Kiini version is in the original and the best, which is why Tess' set will cost an eye-watering £215. But if you're hoping to steal her style and that of the stars (everyone's worn it from Bella Hadid to Elsa Hosk) for less, check out options below by Miss Pap, Missy Empire and more. We have also thrown in another pricey option by Kiini in a pretty turquoise shade. We couldn't resist!

She explained: 'At the moment, I'm getting a lot of direct messages there, but I respectfully chose not to reply to them, because they're all... interesting. I want a break!' 

Dubbing the hate messages 'very bizarre', she reasoned: 'I'm not the kind of person who's interested in fame and if you're put in an environment which you don't understand and you can't control and you don't want, it's horrible.'  

Refusing to stoke the flames, when asked outright if she was dating Harry, Tess sighed: 'I literally don't have anything to say about that.'

Tess and Harry all but confirmed their romance this week, when the Naked Diet chef was seen supporting the singer at an intimate London gig. 

Following the reports, Tess took to her Instagram account to plead with her new batch of Instagram followers - now swollen to almost 130,000 - to 'be kind' to her in light of her blossoming relationship with the 23-year-old heartthrob.

Sharing a snapshot of an egg-and-avocado salad, she cooed about having brunch for dinner, before adding: 'For everyone following and messaging me, I am thankful but please be kind to me. All I want is to share beautiful food with you all.' [sic]

The pair were first linked earlier this month, after Tess was seen in Harry's Audi as he drove through London and she appeared to fuel romance rumours by stepping out in the exact same Gucci shirt as the former X Factor star.

It is said the pair were introduced by mutual friends and Harry is said to be 'besotted' with the food blogger.

A source told The Sun: 'As soon as Harry met Tess there was an instant spark between them. They really bonded over their mutual love of quirky fashion and food – and things turned romantic quickly.

'They've been on a number of dates... This really seems different to Harry’s past relationships as Harry genuinely is besotted with Tess and doesn’t want to risk messing this one up.'
