Harry Styles fan who 'fainted' when he fist-bumped her speaks out after clip goes viral

A "fainting" Harry Styles fan has spoken out after a clip went viral showing the iconic moment.

Superfan Cyndi has talked about the moment which was caught on camera when she fist-bumped Harry which caused her to fall backwards.

The clip went viral as it showed the realities of meeting a pop star.

It all happened at the final recording of The Late Late Show with James C o rden, when Cyndi secured herself a ticket to be in the audience.

Cyndi was seated in the aisle meaning that she was in the prime position to get close to Harry, 29, when he made his way down the stairs and onto the stage.

Harry turned to Cyndi as he appeared an fist-bumped her before she fell backward into her seat.

The video racked up a crazy amount of views, with one video getting more than 1.7 million views on Twitter.

It hasn't taken long for Cyndi to head to her own social media to talk about what really happened in the star-struck moment.

At first the superfan didn't even think she would get to sit in the audience despite queuing from 9:30am as her tickets didn’t guarantee entry.

However, it wasn't long before she realised she may be coming face to face with her idol.

Cyndi has been a fan on Harry for 13 years, saying: "I kind of was like 'Is this real?' I was disassociating at this point. I don’t know if I can see this man. I don’t know if I can be in a small room with this man."

She posted a TikTok video where she explained what she said to Harry in the moment.

Cyndi explained: "I know everyone is wondering what did I say to him.

"When I was finger-wagging I remember saying, 'Come on King, yes King.' And that was the thing that made him look at me.

"I fully like short-circuited, and basically, the moment you see in those 0.2 seconds felt like a full minute long. He stops, he looks at me, and we lock eyes."

She adds: "I put my hand out and then take it back, then he gives me the fist-bump. He says, 'Thank you'."

Cyndi has set the record straight that she didn't faint, but she did feel the "anxiety" in the moment.

She concluded: "He walks away, thankfully in time. All the anxiety, anticipation, and energy all of a sudden dropped the minute that man turned around. I gracefully sat on a seat.

"I did not faint."

This isn't Cyndi's first time meeting the former One Direction star, coming face to face to him for the first time during a One Direction concert.
