Glenda Gilson has shared the moment Harry Styles picked her out from the crowd at his London Wembley concert over the weekend.

Styles, who is performing 12 nights at Wembley as part of his Together, Together tour, sang to a crowd of 90,000 fans during his first two shows at the venue.

Picking out the former Xposé presenter from the crowd, Styles can be seen smiling when he spots her before pointing and saying: “Hi, Glenda.” 

Sharing the video clip of the moment on social media, Gilson captioned the post: “When Harry Styles spots you in the crowd and says Hi.” 

Gilson is a familiar face to the singer-songwriter, after spending many years interviewing One Direction for TV3’s Xposé, which aired up to 2019.

Back in October 2012, One Direction recorded an exclusive programme, One Direction: Our Story So Far, at TV3’s studios during which Styles, along with former band members Liam Payne, Louis Tomlinson, Niall Horan and Zayn Malik, sat down with Gilson ahead of their 2013 Take Me Home tour.

Styles’ current run at Wembley is set to surpass Coldplay’s record of 10 performances there in a single year.

The run will also overtake Taylor Swift’s record for the most concerts performed at Wembley by a solo artist during a single concert run, meaning he will hold the record for the most shows performed by a solo artist during a single tour at the venue.

Styles will continue his run at the stadium from June 17 to July 4, before travelling to South America to perform four nights in Sao Paulo, Brazil and six nights in Mexico City.

He will also perform a record-breaking 30 dates at New York's Madison Square Garden from September to October before travelling to Melbourne and Sydney later this year.
