Perrie won’t be happy with Zayn when she sees these photos

Zayn Malik might be doing his best to make things up to his fiancée Perrie Edwards after a rocky start to the year, but it looks like someone's just put a spanner in the works.

Back in March, Zayn abruptly quit One Direction just days after a photo of him with his arms around another woman, a fan named Lauren Richardson, emerged online.

The picture was taken in Thailand during the Asian leg of One Direction's On The Run tour, and when another photo appeared online of Zayn holding hands with the same woman, speculation began mounting that he had cheated on his girlfriend of four years, Little Mix singer Perrie.

Last week we reported that Lauren was getting ready to tell her side of the story as part of reality TV show Love Island, and now that promotion for the show's new series has begun, there's no escaping the fact that the blonde fan is about to dish the dirt. 

Last night ITV released the first official photo of Lauren as a Love Island contestant, and revealed that she is ready to set the record straight on the "long story" behind the photos of herself and Zayn.

Describing herself as a "down to earth girl," Lauren teased her appearance on the show by saying, "I met Zayn in a nightclub in Thailand. It all got blown out of proportion. But that's a long story."

The new series kicks off on Sunday, and will see six single girls and six single guys being flown to a luxury villa in Mallorca to see if they can find love. Other contestants include former Miss England Rachel Christie, Page Three model Jessica Hayes, and former pro footballer Luis Morrison.

During the show, Lauren is expected to take part in an in-depth interview with host Caroline Flack, during which she will no doubt reveal the truth behind what happened with Zayn.

For Zayn's sake, and for Perrie's, we hope she has nothing too scandalous to share.
