Duncan impressed Evelyn with a lavish boat cruise around the harbour.

"I've got my boat license and my mate owns a boat company which gives me access to lots of brand new boats," he began.

Duncan said that at the time he and Evelyn were trying to keep their relationship lowkey, so he sailed the boat to a "secluded spot" that he knew of.

"Then I took her around the other side just to show her a bit of a different landscape and then on the boat that pulled up next to us, that was about 20 metres away, was Harry Styles," Duncan said.

"He was sitting on his boat not far from ours, it was actually a smaller boat than the one we were on which was super weird.

"He probably had about 10 people on board and he just sat up the back really uninterested with everyone else."
