A teacher taking a dip in the sea off Cornwall's coast got a nice surprise when she bumped into the star, Cornwall Live reports.
The teacher at Penwith College posted a selfie her Instagram story on Friday (January 21) saying she was with the pop superstar after spotting the celebrity on her morning swim.
Harry, who had also reportedly gone for a swim, was pictured wearing a hat and sunglasses while making a 'peace' sign with his hand.
The teacher, who has an Instagram account named 'Tonic of the Sea' wrote: "Me @tonicofthesea swimming alongside @harrystyles this morning!
"Even alist celebs appreciate the 'tonic of the sea!!!'
"My students were very jealous when I got to work today!!"
The post was shared by Penwith College Instagram.
Harry is believed to have an impressive portfolio of properties already, with homes in Los Angeles, New York City and the UK capital.
One guest that is likely to have a AAA pass to all of Harry’s properties – including any new one he snaps up in Cornwall – is his 37-year-old girlfriend Olivia Wilde.
Last month it was reported that Harry has introduced Olivia to his beloved mother, Anne – sparking fresh speculation that the singer may soon pop the question to the American actress.
