"She is one of the kindest, sweetest people I know. Please respect that."
Caroline Flack, who hosted the backstage coverage of the National Television Awards on Wednesday night, kept quiet about the split simply tweeting about her "great night", then complaining about her hangover the next day.
The split came ahead of One Direction heading to the US for a tour.
