Zayn Malik

Earlier this year the world listened as One Direction’s Zayn Malik opened up about his ongoing battle with anxiety, and now another influential young popstar has decided to share her own mental health story.

As Cosmopolitan’s September cover star, Rita Ora sat down with the celebrated magazine to discuss her own anxiety issues and the impression Zayn’s decision to open up about his mental health had on her.

She told Cosmo: “I'm so glad someone has spoken out about it…I'm not scared to admit that I have had therapy.”

“I have someone I speak to once a week. People suffer it in different ways, but for me it's more about thinking about the long-term goal.”

“I'm a very 'in the moment'-type person, so if I have to do something there and then, I'll be fine.  But if I think about it, that's when anxious thoughts start going in.”

The How We Do singer went on to stress the importance of having a strong network of people around her at times when she is struggling with anxiety issues.

She said: “I get so nervous because I care so much… Sometimes I get nervous about recording a song in the studio.  I'm like, 'I'm not ready to record this yet.' Or, 'I don't think I can do this.'”

“I'm relieved to have people around me who encourage me to do well.”

We think it’s brilliant that another big name has weighed in on this important conversation by sharing their own personal experience of anxiety.

OK, so she has one of the world's most perfect bodies.

From looking liking a perfect vision in a bikini on a beach… to looking like a perfect vision, well, in a bikini on the catwalk, Gigi Hadid brings all the #bodygoals (bank holiday Monday overindulgence shame right here).

But the 22-year-old's latest Instagram post has certainly raised eyebrows – because in it the model girlfriend of Zayn Malik has a physique that definitely looks a little enhanced. 

Posing up and looking fab in a small bikini, Gigi left the image – which notched up 1.1m likes in less than 10hours – without a caption.

Still, her fans were quick to speculate. One asked blatantly: "Where did your boobs come from??" Another stated equally boldly: "Her boobs fake??" And a third added somewhat more neutrally: "Her boobs look soo big!"

Not everyone, however, is convinced that surgery is at play. One fan offered: "Photoshop boob job at its finest!" while another suggested: "Prob just intense editing!"

A further online observer highlighted: Oh no! You got implants, Gigi?? Even after your mother's horrible leaking danger??"

They were referring to the 51-year-old Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills star Yolanda, who earlier this year revealed that silicone was "free-floating" around her body after a severe rupture.

The mother-of-three went under the knife to remove the implants, but in advance of the seven-hour operation admitted that she feared she wouldn't survive surgery.

Over the weekend, it was revealed that Gigi and singer-songwriter Zayn had taken a BIG step in their year-long relationship: Ms Hadid has now officially moved into his plush LA mansion.

The vast majority of record labels and music execs adhere to a tried and tested formula when it comes to boy band members.

From the cheeky chappy to the uber-cute one, most members know their role, and for former One Direction member, Zayn Malik, he was most definitely the silent, brooding type.

But it sounds like his 1D persona had less to do with the time-honoured formula, and more to do with his own inner dialogue.

Speaking to Elle, the Bradford-native, who left the band in March 2015, admitted that he struggles desperately with low self esteem and anxiety.

"I don’t have it in me to feel secure in anything I do," he admitted. "I always strive towards something better."

Aware that he often comes across more reserved that one might expect of a former boy band member and up-and-coming solo star, Zayn explained: "It’s why I sometimes come across the wrong way – a bit distant."

The singer, who was forced to cancel his performance at Capital's Summertime Ball due to anxiety, added: "I’m stressed out trying to control how I’m perceived.”

With a nod to his former bandmate Harry's foray into the world of acting, Zayn told the publication that music once took a backseat when it came to his interest in the theatre.

"I started acting when I was in school with theatre studies and then music came afterwards," he explained. "The acting completely stopped because I joined the band, but I'd definitely be interested if I was given the right part."

Ooh, watch this space!

When it comes to celebs and their tats, we kind of feel like we've seen it all…until now, that is.

From Cheryl's ginormous floral inking to Chantelle Connolly's neck tat, nothing surprises anymore, but then Zayn Malik went and pulled out all the stops for his latest tattoo.

Taking to Instagram to share a snap of his work, tattoo artist, jonboytattoo, showed fans and followers what the former 1D member opted for, this week and it's divided pretty much everyone here at SHEmazing! HQ today.

With more than a passing nod to the Star Wars franchise, Gigi's bae went for a light saber…on his middle finger…which glows in the dark.

Tagging the Pillowtalk singer in the post, jonboytattoo wrote: "May the force be with you. @zayn #uvink #starwars #jonboytattoo"

The upload, which has attracted serious attention on Instagram today has been inundated with comments from people only dying to get one of their own.

"That's so sick!! Where was this tattoo done!?" gushed one while another insisted "I need one of those!"

The more we look at it, the more it's growing on us…

Last month Zayn Malik revealed to the world that he has been suffering with anxiety after he was forced to cancel his appearance at Capital Radio’s Summertime Ball.

At the time Zayn's model girlfriend Gigi Hadid was one of the first people to publicly announce their desire to support Zayn through his issues and it seems Gigi is now eager to keep that promise.

According to Celebs Now, the 21-year-old star wants Zayn to go to a US rehabilitation facility to receive treatment for his anxiety and already has a number of LA-based lifestyle gurus lined up to help the former One Direction band member.  

A source told the Now: "Gigi worries that Zayn’s anxiety attacks could ruin his career and in turn their relationship."

“She’s already lined up some of LA’s top lifestyle gurus to help convince Zayn to take a two-week break at a treatment facility.  But it’s not going to be easy.”

The source went on to explain how the pop star tries to escape his issues and commitments through partying.

They said: “When Zayn’s really in a bad place, all he wants to do is party and escape from his anxiety and pressures of real life and a relationship.”

“He just cuts himself off from the world – like when he has cancelled appearances but been spotted partying the same day.  Perhaps it’s his coping mechanism?”

Zayn has admitted in the past that as well as suffering from anxiety, he also smokes marijuana.

He told Complex magazine: "I smoke sometimes when I’m writing. Sometimes it helps with the creative process, depending on the strength of the weed. It helped me think outside the box."

However despite his personal issues, Zayn and Gigi seem to be closer than ever lately as only yesterday the Topshop model shared a sweet snap of them together.

They split up for a short time last month, but now it seems that things are definitely back ON with Zayn Malik and Gigi Hadid.

Just as Ms Hadid returned from Taylor Swift's July 4 celebrations (where was Zayn's invite?) the pair were packing on the PDA on Instagram last night as it appears they're making up for some lost time.

Gigi captioned the photo, "Squish ya," and an hour later had already racked up 500,000 likes.

In the cute snap, the model appears to be sitting on on Zayn's lap as they kiss each other and laugh. Oh, and she's also crushing his nose (we're not the only ones so).

You have to admit, they are incredible cute together!

It was a sad day for all One Direction fans when Zayn announced he was leaving the band.

It seemed sudden and confusing, but to be fair, he's opened up about it a lot since departing from the lads.

However, one thing he has never said is who pushed him to leave and said he could make it on his own.

Did his parents have a say? His agent? Could it even have been Perrie Edwards before the break-up?

Well, not quite.

While speaking to Glamour, the megastar said it was an alien that made him do it. An ALIEN….???

His exact words were, "An alien spoke to me in a dream."

Hmmm, whatever floats your boat, Zayn.

We're not sure if Zayn was totally taking the p*ss here, but he answered the rest of Glamour's questions quite seriously… So who knows, maybe it was an alien. Or, maybe not.

Once again, Zayn Malik has sent his fans into an absolute frenzy.

The singer has just debuted his latest cover for Elle magazine, and we have to say, he is smouldering.

In the black and white shot, Zayn shows off his intricate hand tattoo and piercings, and his followers are totally loving it.

Some have even compared him to a Disney prince:

We'll admit, there is a hint of Prince Charming there.

July 2015 was a dark time for all of us, having faced the fact that One Direction were taking a (well-deserved) break. 

As the months go on, we seem to be getting further and further away from the possibility of the band reuniting, with news this week of Harry Styles signing a SOLO contact.

According to Perez Hilton, Harry signed a contract for a cool $80 million with Columbia Records this week, resulting in thousands of broken hearts.

The Perfect singer sparked a bidding war between Columbia Music and Apple Music for the rights to his first solo album, with Apple ONLY offering Hazza $25 million, how RUDE?

And in the end. Columbia were the victors, leaving Harry $80 million richer.

The One Direction drama all began when Zayn Malik left the band in early 2015, to pursue a solo career. Zayn has since released some absolute TUNES, including his massive number one Pillowtalk

Despite the band's hiatus, life for the 1D boys has been anything but relaxed. Louis Tomlinson welcomed a baby boy, Freddie, and is now involved in a major custody battle.

Liam Payne has a new lady in his life, in the form of Cheryl Cole. The pair began dating earlier this year, and have been causing quite the stir within the media.

As for Nialler, he's just been doing his own thing, which has involved quite a bit of golf. The Mullingar man was just named as an ambassador for the Ryder Cup.

There's no doubt that the lads are flourishing on their own, but we pray for a reunion in the NEAR future.

Former One Directioner Zayn Malik must be developing a flair for fashion from hanging out with model girlfriend Gigi Hadid as the singer has just launched his very own clothing line.

According to Hello! Fashion, Zayn has created a 23-piece collection of t-shirts and hoodies which feature shots of Zayn and includes Urdu script – a touch which connects the collection to the singer’s Pakistani heritage.

Speaking of the venture, Zayn told Vogue: “Everything was created with the idea that this is something I would want to wear.”

"I wanted to approach this as an opportunity to extend my ideas as an artist, and to give fans another facet of who I am."

"My family is from Pakistan, so having artwork in Urdu has huge significance to me."

The 23-year-old star worked on the collection with British illustrator Mark Wilkinson, who previously designed Iron Maiden’s famous rock tees.

Zayn said: "Working with Mark gave me a license to do something exciting conceptually with a lot of colour and detail.”

“The art we created gives a nod to the vintage rock band t-shirts but with my own concept.”

The full collection is available now in Zayn’s online store.

Even when he left One Direction and broke our hearts, we never stopped loving Zayn Malik, no siree. 

However, now the 23-year-old has given us even more reasons to adore him.

Yup, Mr Malik has graced the cover of Dazed magazine and he's taken his top off to do it too. 

In just-released snaps, the singer can be seen donning a studded leather Marc Jacobs jacket taken from the designer's a/w '16 collection. 

And suffice to say his fans are only delira with the unveiling.

"Ok I'll admit he's hot here," observed one. "My ovaries have exploded," laughed another, while a third fan offered up the simple: "Omg this Zayn is so f***ing beautiful and hot."

In his Dazed interview, Mr Malik touches on his newly-found status of fashion icon. As the magazine highlights, he's now sat in the front row at both Louis Vuitton and Valentino’s spring 2016 shows.

And he landed a major editorial in American Vogue alongside his stunning girlfriend, Gigi Hadid.

Furthermore, he wore a Terminator-like, chrome-sleeved Versace suit to this year's famed Met Gala in New York.

Revealing that he helped design the piece himself, he added: "It’s a bit easy to just dress up in a suit. I like to do things that are a bit outside of that."

The English musician then confirmed that he is rehearsing for live shows AND writing his second album, which, rumour has it, will be out before the end of this year. Eeek!

If there was any doubt that Zayn Malik and Gigi Hadid are definitely back on, it has been officially confirmed with the couple's heartwarming Twitter exchange this week.

Having been forced to cancel his appearance at Capital Radio's Summertime Ball this weekend. the former 1D member took to social media to explain the situation to disappointed fans and followers, and no one was more supportive than Gigi.

"To all those people who have been waiting to see me perform at the Capital Summertime Ball today," Zayn wrote. "I flew into the UK last night to appear in my home country in front of my family, friends, and most importantly, my UK fans."

"Unfortunately, my anxiety that has haunted me throughout the last few months around live performances has gotten the better of me," he revealed in a lengthyTwitter post.

"With the magnitude of the event, I have suffered the worst anxiety of my career," he continued. "I cannot apologise enough but I want to be honest with everyone who has patiently waited to see me."

The 23-year-old Bradford-native insisted he will make it up to his fans, writing: "I promise I will do my best to make this up to everybody I've let down today. I know those who suffer anxiety will understand and I hope those who don't can empathise with my situation."

Rushing to publicly support her boyfriend, Gigi shared a snap of Zayn's post before writing: "Z – I’ve seen the battles you go through and the way you fight to get to a place that allows you to get up there for your fans."

"Your bravery in those times makes me proud, but your honesty last night proved what you’re all about, being real," she continued. "Human recognises human."

"We are all here to support you and make each experience easier," she promised. "Your talent and good heart will never lead you wrong. Love you and so proud of you always."

Aw, lads.
