Could Zayn be returning to One Direction?
It's been over two months since Zayn Malik shocked fans all over the world by quitting One Direction for good in the middle of their world tour.
The singer, who was an unknown before competing in the 2010 series of The X Factor when One Direction first began, said he wanted to be able to live a "normal" life again.
Over the last 24 hours though, fans have been sent into overdrive on Twitter with the rumour that Zayn might be returning to 1D.
The speculation started when hundred of Twitter users in Brazil started tweeting with the hashtag #WelcomeBackTo1DZayn. The hashtag soon started trending worldwide as other fans picked up on the rumour.
OH MY GOD ZAYN BACK TO 1D #WelcomeBackTo1DZayn

Unfortunately, there seems to be no truth in the news, as the hashtag was later revealed to have been started by one over-zealous fan who was watching a One Direction documentary segment on popular Brazilian TV show Multishow.
ZAYN IS COMING BACK THIS YEAR HE HAD AN INTERVIEW AND SAID THIS I WATCHED!!!!! #OneDirectionNoMultishow

One user later tweeted in Portuguese that the news was indeed a hoax, but by that stage the story had already gone viral:
IM SO HAPPY IVE MISSED ZAYN SO MUCH

This Friday marks One Direction's first show on this side of the world as a foursome, as they take to Cardiff's Millennium Stadium for two nights on June 5th and 6th. The lads will also play Dublin for three nights in October.
Much as we would love to see all five 1Ders back on stage together, for now it seems it's just a pipe dream.
