One Direction star Harry Styles put his romantic troubles behind him on Friday 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 with friends including his ex-girlfriend Caroline Flack and actor James Corden.
