What a week for sneaky weddings eh?

Zayn Malik has sparked speculation that he secretly wed Perrie Edwards after posting a photo on his Instagram account showing a ring on his wedding finger that wasn't there ever before.

The One Directioner and the Little Mixer have been dating since 2011 and confirmed their engagement in August last year could already have tied the know without any of us knowing a la Cheryl, which we're still calling a half-Yoncé.

The singer - who appears topless in the photo - posted the black and white shot along with the caption: 'Blah'. Man of many words is Zayn.

The rumours have followed Zayn's decision to make his profile on the picture sharing site public sending the band's fans into a frenzy over of his current marital status.

In a previously unseen shot from February, the singer's hand also appears to have a wedding bang amongst other statement rings on his fingers, suggesting that the secret nuptials may have happened months ago.

The photo is simply captioned: 'Rings :) x'

Zayn - who altered the privacy settings on his Instagram account yesterday - was soon trending worldwide on Twitter with the hashtag '#THANKSZAYNFORMAKINGYOURIGPUBLIC'.

Meanwhile, Perrie - who celebrated her 21st birthday earlier this week - has only added fuel to the rumours after posting a shot of herself performing in Hyde Park over the weekend with a silver band on her own ring finger.
