Niall was lovely, funny, cheeky and kind. He was also very affectionate, we always called each other ‘babe’ and he’d always end his texts with a kiss. It was all very innocent but he was very good kisser! We didn’t have much cash. On one date Niall took me to Roma Cafe in Mullingar for some chips which probably only cost about two Euros (£1.60).

Even back then I knew he’d go far, he was always singing and playing his guitar and he was really good. He used to sing me songs he’d written or covers, like Justin Bieber’s Baby or Jason Mraz’s I’m Yours. Once he paid 15 Euros (£12) to hire a boat and rowed me across a lake while singing to me - Holly Scally
