Harry Styles 'superfans' applying for jobs as tour guides in his home town face an 80-question quiz on the star before doing a presentation.

More than 5,000 fans - known as 'Harries' - have descended on the quaint Cheshire village of Holmes Chapel in the past year.

The village has even produced its own map of the two mile tour which the local railway station ticket officer gives away for free.

Now local leaders are planning official tours to show fans sights such as the bakery where he worked as a teen and a Chinese restaurant he once took Taylor Swift.

They received over 150 applications for Harry Styles experts to lead the tours and interviewed 20 hopefuls on Saturday, (April 20).

Attendees were put through their paces with an 80-question quiz on the singer and Holmes Chapel and were asked to make a short individual presentation.

Peter Whiers, chairman of the Holmes Chapel Partnership, says there was "a lot of love for Harry" in the room where the interviews were held.

He said: "The assessment day went incredibly well.

"There was a lot of love for Harry in the room but also many applicants whose shared fantastic knowledge of local history and pride in Holmes Chapel village.

"Alongside this, we were keen to identify applicants who were well organised, engaging speakers and confident to lead a group safely around the village.

"I was really impressed with the calibre of the attendees.

"I'm confident we can now appoint tour guides who will make Harry Home Village Tours an entertaining and enjoyable experience this summer."

The tours will run on Saturday mornings in June and weekdays in July, September and August this year.

The partnership originally wanted to appoint 12 guides but after the success of the interview process, they have decided to hire more.

Peter said: "The combination of the excellent applicants we met and high early interest in the tours has swayed our decision to offer positions to several more Tour Guides.

"This will ensure we have a team large enough to comfortably meet demand and deliver daily tours over the summer months."
