He may have solidified a solo career with the success of his debut single, Pillowtalk, but it seems that Zayn has tried to retain a connection with his former bandmates. 

However, according to the 23-year-old, they are having none of it. 

Speaking to NME magazine, Zayn sadly revealed that he only keeps in touch with one member of 1D. 

"I'm still probably the closest to Liam. We talk on the phone.

"He congratulated me on my single, which was nice. I congratulated him on his Brit Award.

"It was a good chat. We haven't met up in a long time so we want to meet up."

But things still seem to be icy between Zayn and the rest of the group; Niall Horan, Louis Tomlinson and Harry Styles. 

"I tried to have contact but nobody's reached out. So… whatever."

Things may not have cooled off between the lads after Zayn simply upped and left without warning during their 2015 tour. 

Speaking about the incident, the singer revealed he just ordered a private plane and told his team that he was out. 

"I want[ed] to go home," said the star honestly. 

"I don't know how I knew, but I just did. So I chatted with my cousin. Listened to a few songs. Just waited for my plane to come."

However, Zayn is set to take the charts by storm as his debut album, Mind of Mine, is out on Friday.

As the band are making the most of their hiatus, it seems that Louis and Niall still have time for each other.

They lads were out partying over the weekend, and looking at the snap Louis posted, it seemed like a lot of fun.

The Mullingar man and the new daddy were clearly in high spirits as they danced with friends, later admitted that the missed each other.

Louis shared a photo on Instagram and captioned it, "Good night! Missed you Nialler lad!"

This comes just after Simon spilled the beans on the groups solo projects, saying the he's "absolutely sure" the boys will each do a solo track.

He told E! News there would be "many more solo projects from the boys" and we'll be hearing "lots of announcements" of their projects in the next few months.

“I mean, lots of things are going to be announced over the next few months, but they were, are, the nicest people, you know, to work with.

“Hard-working, appreciate everything, so it won’t be the end.”

He's enjoying his break away from One Direction, but we think Niall might have forgot he's still in the limelight.

The Irish singer partied the night away in LA among a bevvy of beautiful girls, but he just couldn't help himself and had to pee al fresco in the parking lot.

The girls didn't seem to mind though as he went straight back over to them to start a conversation.

Niall has really been lying low, unlike most of his bandmates, since the hiatus, but rumour has it he's taking on a whole new career; golf.

Only time will tell with this one, but one thing's for sure, he should probably wait to use the loo next time.

If you have been paying any attention to the whereabouts of One Direction as they officially enter their hiatus, you will know that everyone has been constantly accounted for except for Niall. 

Yep, One Directioners across the globe have been unable to pin-point Niall's exact location as he has purposefully stopped using social media in order to get some privacy on his adventurous and well-deserved hols. 

But it seems that a certain RTE 2FM presenter has let the cat out of the bag. 

 

Some week in paradise. Thanks boys.

Many fans knew that Niall was doing a backpacking trip through South East Asia where it is believed he has visited Australia, Bali, the Philippines and Vietnam, but they still needed to know his exact location. 

According to Eoghan's Instagram, the Mullingar native is partying it up on the beaches of Thailand and it looks like he is having a ball.

"Some week in paradise," read the caption of the photo which has sent fans into a tailspin. 

Niall was spotted landing in Bangkok airport on the 29 Feb before he obviously decided to check out some of the country's party hotspots. 

Niall has been located. Let the hysteria ensue.

While we are still trying to wrap our heads around the idea, the internet is alight this morning over rumours that our very own Cheryl is having a secret romance with none other than One Direction's Liam Payne. 

The recently divorced (and recently renamed) popstar has reportedly been dating the singer, who is ten years her junior, since her split from Jean Bernard Fernandez-Versini in December. 

We have so many thoughts… 

According to the Sun who have broken the story today, the pair are dating and have become very close since the marriage split late last year. 

"Cheryl and Liam are in a relationship. It was unexpected but they’ve both made each other incredibly happy," a source has reportedly told the paper though neither party have confirmed the romance as of yet. 

The pair would already be acquaintances as Cheryl was a judge on the X Factor the year that 1D made their lucky break in 2010. 

The newspaper, who described the pair as 'secret lovers' in a huge front-page splash, are even reporting that the couple have matching rose tattoos referring to Cheryl's large artwork on her derrière and Liam's more recent rose ink on his hand. 

Both Cheryl and the One Direction star were also seen attending the same BRIT awards party last week. 

All we can say is, if this one is true, then our minds are well and truly blown.

While we eagerly anticipate the BRIT awards this evening, it seems that only half of One Direction is set to make it to the prestigious awards show. 

Louis Tomlinson and Liam Payne are set to grace the red carpet while the rest of us are left to wonder what the hell happened to the rest of them. 

Despite becoming a daddy in the past few weeks, Louis Tomlinson flew back to the UK from his current abode in Los Angeles. 

 

Workout done off to party!!! #britawards2016

Meanwhile Liam was pumping up a sweat this afternoon ahead of the show as he shared a much appreciated snap of his current ab situation to Instagram today. 

As for the location of the other two, your guess is as good as ours. 

According to the Sun, Harry simply did not want to go. 

"This could have been one last hurrah for the boys at what could be their last BRIT Awards as a band," said a source to the paper. 

"But Harry has shown no interest in attending."

As for Niall, it seems that he is currently back-backing through Thailand and is taking a break from social media much to the dismay of his followers. 

In fact many One Directioner's actually can't cope with not knowing the location of the Mullingar native: 

Yep, it seems like the hiatus is well and truly upon us.

So it seems everything isn't all daises and roses in One Direction land.

Liam Payne is after throwing some serious shade at Louis Tomlinson on an Instagram post he shared yesterday.

On the picture, Liam wrote, "that one friend you call 49 times…" and then in the caption he continued, "And then he's like ahhh man where you been."

He then TAGGED Louis in the snap. Ouch

This comes after it was reported Liam is flying out to LA to meet up with his former band member.

The 1D men started their hiatus just before Christmas and since then Louis has welcomed his first son, Freddie into the world.

When Liam was asked by a photographer at the airport if he'd met Freddie yet, the 22-year-old said: "No I haven't actually. But I'm on my way to see him later."

It seems that fatherhood is treating Louis well, but we're scared there's going to be some tension between the boys now.

To coincide with all the excitement of the Grammys, Jimmy Kimmel decided to release the latest edition of Mean Tweets including all of our favourite musical stars. 

From Megan Trainor to the Killers, literally no one was spared from the wrath of angry Twitter trolls in the latest instalment. 

Yep, Jimmy's infamous television segment is always a hit as top celebrities are encouraged to sit down and read out the horrible things people say about them across the internet. 

And as you an guess, no one holds back. 

While Rita Ora is told that she dresses like a "big of d*cks" and Drake is told he looks like a "ferret with a baby afro" , we reckon this might actually be the meanest bunch of tweets yet.

No surprises for affirming that we were totally bowled over by Zayn Malik's debut single, Pillowtalk

I mean, we were expecting a decent pop song but we have literally not stopped listening to the sexy tune since it was dropped last week. 

And it seems the world agrees with us as the single continues to smash records across the globe. 

Zayn's first solo effort debuted at number 1 in the Billboard Charts last week, a victory earned by no One Direction single ever (obviously they have had many number 1's, but no single has actually debuted at the top spot). 

While Best Song Ever came in at number 2 in 2013 and Drag Me Down just about making it to number 3 last summer, Pillowtalk breezed into the top spot just days after it's release. 

Zayn's monumental song is also the highest charting single by any UK debut artist in the Billboard Charts (though we reckon this was helped by the fact he was already well known internationally). 

AND to add to the list of this song's achievements, Pillowtalk is the first time a number one song was performed by an artist beginning with the letter 'z'. 

So there you go. 

Zayn is set to drop his album Mind of Mine next month.

Zayn Malik is finally casting off the shackles of One Direction with his first solo single, Pillowtalk.

The song and video dropped in the early hours of this morning, and we have to admit we're liking his work so far.

Pillowtalk is just slightly NSFW, featuring Zayn, Gigi Hadid… and a few lotus-flower vaginas. A few things we noticed:

Zayn and Gigi are most DEFINITELY on
Despite claiming in an interview with Zane Lowe yesterday that he and Ms Hadid are just 'friends,' Zayn can't keep his hands off her in this video.

 

It's a huge change from One Direction's videos
Lots of abstract colour, lotus flowers and paint pouring down people's faces. It's no Steal My Girl.

 

​Zayn's still an awkward 23-year-old at the end of it all
Any shots of him on his own, staring moodily in the camera, automatically made us cringe. Sorry, Zayn.

He broke many hearts when he decided to leave One Direction, but now Zayn Malik has opened up about what he really thought of the five-piece band. 

The 23-year-old spoke quite candidly to Zane Lowe for Apple Music's Beats 1Radio, saying he "never wanted to be in the band."

Leaving fans hopeless, Mr Malik continued on to reveal that he knew it wasn't the right place for him after just "one year."

He told Zane: "I just gave it a go because it was there at the time. I think I kinda always wanted to go. From the first year, I never really wanted to be there in the band.

"When I realised the direction that we were going in, mind the pun, with the music, I instantly realised it wasn't for me. How do you write a song from five people's perspective?"

He went on to say that the music they were making didn't suit him at all, and even though Harry, Laim, Louis and Niall knew this, they didn't want him to go. 

"I think the boys knew that in terms of the music, that wasn't my cup of tea. When I was leaving the band, they didn't want me to leave. But I'd already made up my mind at that point."

Zayn's first solo single, Pillowtalk, is debuting this Friday which will see an interesting shift in pattern since the 1D lads have began their hiatus.

Liam Payne might be just a few weeks in to One Direction's two-year hiatus, but he's already back to work.

The singer is reportedly planning to pen some songs for Jennifer Lopez's new album, at her request.

According to The Sun, Liam and J-Lo met recently to discuss the possibility of working together, and both agreed their styles "gelled" very well.

As well as some recent writing work for Louis' Walsh's post-Westlife effort Hometown, Liam is also credited as a co-writer on a massive 35 of One Direction's songs.

While it's true that Niall, Harry and co. are also listed as writers on several of the band's hits, Liam has by far the most writing credits. On Made In The AM alone, he worked on eight out of the total 13 songs, and is even listed as producer on Love You, Goodbye.

Liam tweeted last week to say how happy we was that fans were enjoying 1D's latest single History, which he called "the fandom's theme tune/anthem."

2016 marks two years since Jennifer's last album release, so hopefully we won't have to wait long for some Payne-inspired tracks.
