Harry Styles eats a scorpion to avoid ranking the solo music of his former One Direction bandmates

Harry Styles ate a scorpion on The Late Late Show to get out of ranking the solo albums of his former One Direction bandmates.

The singer – who stood in for the show's host James Corden on Tuesday (10 December) while the Gavin & Stacey star was away filming – was challenged to a game of Spill Your Guts or Fill Your Guts by Kendall Jenner, in which the pair asked each other personal questions.

Each celebrity had to either answer truthfully or eat whatever was in front of them, with the menu including dishes such as cod sperm and cow blood and pork tongue jelly.

When Jenner asked Styles to rank the solo music of his former bandmates Zayn Malik, Liam Payne, Niall Horan and Louis Tomlinson, he opted to eat a scorpion before she had even finished asking the question.

This was the second time Styles had filled in for Corden, after previously stepping in for the host when the his wife went into labour in 2017.

Styles will release his second solo album, Fine Line, on 13 December. It was awarded four stars by our critic Alexandra Pollard, who described it as a “dextrous, audacious album a little too in thrall to music’s greats”.

Payne, meanwhile, dropped his first album LP1 last week. It was given two stars by our reviewer Helen Brown, who wrote that the singer has "gone from One Direction to One Dimensional".
