Niall Horan admits he is too busy for love as he focuses on solo career and has no time for dating app Tinder

NIALL Horan has revealed he's too busy for love and has "no time for Tinder" as he focuses on his solo career.

The One Direction star has had great success with his second single Slow Hands but despite being world famous he hasn't got time to meet anyone special.

Niall, 23, has previously been linked to Selena Gomez, Ellie Goulding and Victoria's Secret model Barbara Palvin but hasn't had any high-profile romances in the past few months.

The Our Town singer told Notion magazine that his life is too hectic to even think about dating.

He said: "We' re talking 11-12 hour days, every day which is like work, studio, home, bed, eat, you know - I have no time for Tinder!"

As he focuses on his solo career, Niall says he hopes to emulate the success of some of his heroes.

He said: "That's the goal, to be able to do this for years and years and to be still producing good stuff - that would be great.

"I've always been a big Bob Dylan fan, and that's longevity at its finest. Him and Eric Clapton, that's the ultimate for anybody who makes music.

In a recent interview with Billboard, Niall revealed he finds it tough being on the road without his 1D bandmates Harry, Liam and Louis, who are also promoting their solo efforts.

He said: "Every now and then you’re like, ‘F**kin’ hell, where is everyone?’

“You’re sitting in an airport lounge, they call you for a plane, and you don’t stand up initially because you’re waiting on ­everyone else, you know? ‘Oh, Louis’ll be back from the toilet in a minute.’”

While his bandmates have been coy about talking a reunion so soon after their hiatus, Niall says the band will always be his priority.

He explained: “I told my ­managers from the start: When One Direction comes knocking, f*** what I’m doing. I don’t give a s*** if I sold out arenas or won Grammys. I wouldn’t be doing this if it wasn’t for that.

"When it will be, I don’t know. I ­prefer not to do it after I’m 40. I’d prefer the next few years.”

Niall, 23, says the 1D boys talk all the time but haven't set a date for when they'll be back in the studio together.

He added: "We haven’t even had a ­conversation about how long we think the break will be.”
