Well, here's a turn up for the books, if ever there was one. Not.

Rather than bestowing us with some juicy gossip about the 'real' reason he left One Direction, Zayn Malik has said in a new interview that it was simply because he 'didn't feel good' about being in the band.

He told Highsnobriety: "I just knew it was my time. I knew I wanted to do something different and start expressing the way I felt about certain things.

"I know that musicians are seen as one-sided people a lot of the time. But we do have other elements to us as well. I didn't feel good. Do you know what I mean? And if you don't feel good... you need to be able to express what it is that you are. I'm free at last."

I dunno Zayn, it sounds to us like you need a stint on the tills at Tesco for a week.

He also said that he has an aversion to the word 'celebrity', saying "I think it's a dangerous road to go down, thinking of yourself as a celebrity, because then you somehow automatically think that label makes you superior to other people. Some people just want to hang around you because they know your name, so they think that means they know you, and I can see through that bullshit a mile off."
