EXCLUSIVE: Styles goes skating! One Direction hunk Harry takes a tumble at the ice rink during video shoot

He's known as one of the better dancers in the band.

And One Direction star Harry Styles put his footwork to the test by taking to the ice at London's Natural History Musuem pop-up rink on Monday evening.

The 20-year-old singer was shooting solo scenes for the boy band's latest music video, but clearly got a bit too confident on his skates since he was spotted taking a nasty tumble.

The What Makes You Beautiful hit-maker was dressed in a smart all-black outfit for the winter themed shoot, with a jazzy leaf-patterned scarf around his neck.

Harry showed off with a few sprints and spins around the rink, demonstrating his skills to a crowd of excited onlookers.

And while it seems falling over was part of the video, with Harry perfecting a stunt for the cameras on a padded mattress, the star seems to have injured himself for real.

Meanwhile, it's not all bad news for Harry since One Direction have just been crowned Britain's richest young stars.

The boys - who were put together by Simon Cowell on The X Factor in 2010 - topped heat magazine's annual under 30 rich list for the second year in a row, pushing Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe into second place once again.
