Chances are Ellie Fitzgerald-Payne's Monday was a whole lot better than yours.

The One Direction fan was given the greatest surprise when she received a voicemail from none other than Harry Styles.

"Hi Ellie, it's Harry here. I'm with your dad and we've just had lunch together and he's a really nice guy. Hope to see you soon. I think we're having coffee next week, so maybe...," the 1D cutie said in the message, which Ellie recorded and posted on Instagram.

And now, the 18-year-old tells E! News all about how her lucky surprise came about.

"My mum and step dad were in London for the weekend, staying in Shoreditch House," she tells us. "On Monday they were waiting for the lift and Harry Styles came up behind them!"

Ellie continued, "My stepdad introduced himself, they all got in the lift and chatted, and he asked Harry if he was going outside and if possible could he speak to his daughter on the phone, saying I probably wouldn't answer because that is just my luck and I am known to not be so great at answering!"
 
"They tried a couple of times when they got outside but I was driving! I was so gutted and annoyed at first by the fact I missed my chance to talk to him; but then I heard the voicemail and was so shocked and excited—I mean it's not everyday you get a voicemail like that!"
 
She added, "My friend and I were sat in my car going absolutely crazy. And what a lovely and down to earth guy he appeared to be with a great sense of humor both to my parents and over the voicemail!"

Her Instagram post gained lots of traction from One Direction fans, and Fitzgerald also posted a photo of Harry with her stepdad to prove that it actually happened.

Lucky girl!
