LONDON, Dec 14 — Selena Gomez has denied that there’s anything going between her and One Direction’s Niall Horan, yet she was spotted hanging out backstage at “The X Factor” UK final where the band performed.

E! News reported that Justin Bieber’s former flame, who was seen dressed in a green jacket with a tank-top underneath, was snapped mingling with fans and even a few of Horan’s friends.

And that’s just the beginning of more romance rumours. According to the UK’s Metro, Gomez hid her face as she left London’s swanky Edition Hotel where all the post-show merriment had been going down just a few minutes after Horan’s exit.

So much for Gomez assuring fans that she is just friends with the One Direction singer — will someone come clean and tell us already if the romance talk is true or not!
