He then turns away from the camera with his left eye closed.

Fans commented on the clip that it had ruined Harry’s performance as they slammed the member of the crowd for launching the sweet. 

Following the moment, an official response has been issued by Skittles’ Twitter account addressing the Skittles attack.

It read: ‘Didn’t think I needed to say this: Please don’t throw Skittles.’ 

Just last month Harry was heard shouting out in pain after a fan launched an unknown object at his groin area during a show.

This came after Harry was pelted with chicken nuggets during his Madison Square Garden gig in August.

Harry looked bemused as he knelt down onstage to pick up the breaded meat piece and asked the audience: ‘Is this a chicken nugget?!’

He then held the nugget aloft before saying: ‘Interesting, very interesting approach’ and adding: ‘Who threw the chicken nugget? It’s another chicken nugget’ as another was thrown onto the stage.

Despite fan pleas for him to eat the chicken, he responded: ‘I don’t eat chicken, sorry. I don’t eat meat.’

Finding the fan who chucked the food Harry said: ‘There you go, you can have your nugget back. 

‘First of all, this is cold and I’m assuming very old.’

Asking the fan if they would like the nugget back, with the fan responding ‘yes’, Harry retorts: ‘You want it back? Why?’

The singer then threw the food back and said: ‘Alright, here you go. Don’t eat it.’

‘Oh now it’s on the floor, we will get you another nugget, OK? Fear not.’

During one particularly bizarre phase in 2017, Harry superfans took to throwing kiwis up on stage, when he performed by the same name.

On a couple of occasions Harry even slipped on the ‘green seedy mush’ and told concert-goers that it was going to become a problem.

During on gig, he told the audience: ‘You may have seen me fall earlier during this song, it appeared to be a kiwi. That was the culprit, some green seedy mush. Look, there’s another, This could end up being a problem.’ 

It comes after Harry cancelled three of his sold-out Los Angeles concert dates just hours before he was set to take the stage at The Kia Forum in Inglewood.

The ‘devastated’ star revealed the news via his Instagram Story and cited an ongoing flu as the reason for the last-minute postponements.

He was scheduled to perform Saturday November 5, Sunday, November 6, and Monday, November 7, at the 70,000 seat arena. All three concerts have been rescheduled for January.

Harry was also forced to cancel Friday evening’s LA show due to ‘band illness,’ according to a tweet published by the venue.

As part of the North American leg of his ‘Love On Tour,’ Styles is headlining a 15-night residency at The Kia Forum. It kicked off on October 31.

Statement: The ‘devastated’ star, 28, revealed the news via his Instagram Story and cited an ongoing flu as the reason for the last-minute postponements

‘Towards the end of the show on Wednesday I started feeling ill and I’ve been in bed with the flu ever since,’ Harry’s statement began. 

‘I’ve been doing everything I can to be able to sing tonight, but I’m leaving the doctor now and I’m devastated that it’s just not possible.’

‘Until very recently I haven’t had to postpone a show due to illness in the 12 years I’ve been touring. I’m so sorry to do it, and if there was anyway I could do the show I would.’

‘I’m sorry this news is coming so close to show time, but it was my sincerest hope to be able to play for you tonight. I know several of you have planned trips to LA to see the show, and it means the absolute world to me.’

‘The shows on November 5th, 6th, 7th will be postponed until January 26th, 27th, 29th 2023. Everything else will play as planned.’

‘I can’t wait to see you then, and I’m so sorry. All my love,’ he wrote in closing. ‘H.’ 

Friday: Styles was also forced to cancel Friday evening’s LA show due to ‘band illness,’ according to a tweet published by the venue

This canceled slate of L.A. shows joins a canceled performance in Chicago on October 6, which was ultimately reschedule for October 10.

‘Out of an abundance of caution,’ read a last-minute statement from the Chicago venue, ‘tonight’s Harry Styles show on Thursday, October 6, 2022 at United Center has been rescheduled to Monday, October 10, 2022 due to band/crew illness.’

Even though that concert was pushed back by a mere four days, Harry’s ravenous fanbase didn’t take the news too well.  

‘This is may be the worst news I’ve ever gotten in my life,’ lamented one fan on Twitter. 

The massive undertaking of the Love On Tour appears to be finally catching up with Styles and his entourage. 

As illness gradually plagued the pop star’s band and now Styles himself, the megastar has been consistently churning out high-octane performances and attending Hollywood premieres. 

In addition to the seven legs of his worldwide tour, Styles has launched a movie career with the recent hit Don’t Worry Darling and his latest release My Policeman, which dropped on Amazon Prime over the weekend. 

The 22-month-long extravaganza is set to finish in Italy next year in 2023. It has become a bonafide pop culture sensation, propelling Styles into the stratosphere. 

Live to sing another day: ‘The shows on November 5th, 6th, 7th will be postponed until January 26th, 27th, 29th 2023,’ wrote the megastar on his Instagram story. ‘I can’t wait to see you then, and I’m so sorry. All my love – H’
