They're currently the hottest boy band in the world, so it's no surprise that One Direction's fans are a little over-protective.

Hardcore followers of the five singers were left angry and upset when they discovered that the British stars had been showing interest in a female Down Under.

Following an appearance on Sydney's Nova radio station, one fifth of the band Zayn Malik is said to have asked Anna Crotti out on a date, but before she could even say yes, she was targeted by the group's fans.

Smitten: The boyband met the wannabe model when they arrived at Sydney's Nova radio station for an interview

According to the Daily Star, the 20-year-old receptionist - who met the boys when they turned up for the interview - was bombarded with nasty messages via Facebook.

'By the end of the day it got a bit too scary,' Anna revealed. 'Girls were calling the radio station and giving me s**t.

'Mothers even called me in tears demanding to know if I knew where One Direction were. I didn't even want to walk home. It was so intense.'

The band's fans became aware of Anna after Zayn and his band mate Harry Styles gushed about her while being interviewed.

When asked what he would most like to do in Australia, Harry mouthed 'Anna,' and added: 'She's lovely. She's got beautiful eyes and lovely manners.'

Zayn, 19, was also keen on the wannabe model and ended up getting her number to ask her out on a date.

'A security man came up to me,' Anna explained. 'I thought I was in trouble but he said: "The lads want your number."

'I got a text later saying hello. I asked who it was and it was Zayn.'

Hardcore: The band's fans have been following the boys everywhere since they arrived in Australia

The pair were in communication with each other throughout the day and had even arranged to go for a drink, but the hate mail soon put Anna off.

One Facebook message read: 'Why would they choose you?' while others were much more 'sinister' according to the newspaper.

This resulted in Anna messaging Zayn and saying that it probably wasn't a good idea for them to meet up.

The brunette - who has been in a relationship for two years - added: 'I know it's just typical teenage girl stuff but I don't understand it.'

And it seems Anna has definitely missed her chance as the band were spotted leaving Sydney today.

The boys were yet again greeted by hoards of fans, but looked glum as they exited their vehicle.

The five singers are currently on a mini tour of Australia following time spent in the U.S.

Louis Tomlinson looks like he's sponsored by Corona, as he no doubt sips from a stocked up on-board fridge spilling with every possible treat One Direction once dreamed about while at school.

The boyband lapped up the life of luxury aboard a yacht off Sydney Harbour, diving into the sea, drinking refreshing beer and topping up their already sunkissed bodies from having been in the US.

Zayn Malik, Louis and Harry Styles went for a spin on a power boat, while Liam Payne tried his hand at fishing and Niall Horan remained covered up, perhaps to stop from burning his Irish complexion.

The British X Factor graduates have already conquered the American market following their tour across the country, which caused hysteria among their new fans.

And Zayn wasted no time making an impact on Oz fans as soon as they landed in Australia.

The 19-year-old treated waiting fans by standing at a window topless to show off his heart tattoo.

The group arrived in Sydney fresh from their American and Canadian trek yesterday.

And they wasted no time getting acquainted with their devotees Down Under.

Zayn carried a water bottle to their hotel window as he posed with his top off and wore just a chain around his neck with his trousers on show.

But while he was happy to bare himself for all of the fans below, band favourite Harry didn't give them the same treat.

The curly haired teenager was seen standing next to his bandmate as he peered out with a white T-shirt on and sunglasses hanging off his neckline.

His pensive expression was hard to gauge, but perhaps he was sparing a thought for Lily Halpern.

Caroline Flack's former squeeze is rumoured to be dating the 19-year-old American singer, a Boston teenager who has supported the likes of Big Time Rush, Cody Simpson and Greyson Chance.

While the New York Post claims 'they've been seeing each other for a few months', and Lily was seen leaving Harry's hotel room in the Big Apple last month, the band's spokesperson denied the claim.

It may have been a shock arriving in the country as the boys had to be escorted by security thanks to the amount of fans anxious to see them, although they are no doubt getting used to the attention.

Harry and Zayn, along with Louis, Liam and Niall, were seen being ushered into their waiting vehicle as they stepped off the plane.

Louis was dressed in a beanie hat with jeans, a T-shirt and hoodie, while Zayn initially covered up in a grey T-shirt and black leather jacket.
