The former One Direction singer was confronted by a man demanding cash in North London on Friday.

The 26-year-old is said to have handed over cash to the thug but was unharmed in the robbery.

A source told the Mirror: “He actually played it pretty cool, quickly giving the assailant cash, keeping himself and the guy calm and getting the situation over with.

He is up for two awards – Best British Album for his Fine Line solo debut, and Best British Male Solo Artist.

The Sun has contacted Harry’s management for comment.

Last year the singer’s stalker, Pablo Tarazaga-Orero, was found guilty for harassing the singer near his home.

He was handed a restraining order banning him from going within 250 metres from him, and going to any of his gigs.
