Los Angeles, Feb 21 (IANS): Singer Demi Lovato cannot stop raving about band One Direction member Niall Horan, and finds something special about him.

Lovato, 20, says Horan is the most fun guy to be around, as compared to his other band members Harry Styles, Liam Payne, Louis Tomlinson and Zayn Malik.

"All of the One Direction guys are great, but there is something a little special about him. Niall is really one of the most fun people to be around," dailystar.co.uk quoted Lovato as saying.

The singer has been nursing a broken leg, but said a message by Horan message lifted her spirits.

"It has obviously not been great hobbling around on a broken leg, but Niall can even make that funny. He can make light of the most serious situations - and every girl needs somebody like Niall in their life," she said.

"I know when a text comes through from Niall there is a great chance it is going to actually make me laugh out loud," she added.
