Niall Horan shuts down a rude presenter in the most perfect way

Let it be a lesson to us all.

I'm sure it's extremely hard to be famous. People asking to take photos of you, or others wanting your autograph must get tiring fast - we really feel for celebrities. One famous person that really has it tough is ex-One Direction singer Niall Horan who's having some time off after the band confirmed a hiatus. According to Sugarscape, Niall was at Royal Ascot in the UK, enjoying the horse racing with his family when one BBC presenter, Tim Dellor tried to nab the Mullingar man for a quick chat. After Niall rejected Tim, the spurned TV host bitched about Niall... on national radio. SERIOUSLY?

"I didn't actually know who he was anyway, to be honest. I had to ask my producer. "He looked like he was taking himself quite seriously; a lot of bodyguards around. I didn't have any clue who he was, but the snappers obviously did. "He's not dressed properly, either. He's only in a normal lounge suit. "He had sunglasses on and was trying to stand up and straight as he possibly could to give himself an extra bit of height. It was the most unimpressive performance by a celebrity who I didn't know who it was."

How rude! Niall took to Twitter to call out the presenter who was slagging him off.

@BBCEngland @BBCBerkshire what are you on about mate? I was having a day out with my family who also enjoy horse racing big time
