Gage Golightly DENIES being the ‘mystery blonde’ in Zayn Malik’s topless picture

On his quest to become the next Justin Bieber, Zayn Malik has managed to set Instagram aflame with a picture of himself cuddling up to a random blonde lady while topless. TOPLESS. What does this meeeeeean?

The ex-One Direction star shared the snap on his Instagram yesterday, and immediately his followers went MAD trying to work out the identity of the mystery woman.

Many pointed out her similarities to Teen Wolf star Gage Golightly and were convinced they’d cracked the code – but the actress has issued a denial on her own Insta.

“Hi everyone, just wanted to clarify that I am not the girl in the photo with Zayn Malik,” she wrote.

“But what a lucky girl! Love y’all – Gage.”

It means that the mystery blonde lady is still very much a mystery blonde lady – but it seems clear Zayn is sending a pointed message to his ex, Perrie Edwards, about the fact he’s moving on.

His Instagram update came just after Perrie uploaded a snap of herself with not one but TWO fit men – dancers Rycardo Gomez and Claudimar Neto.

“Reunited with this one last night! My love for this boy is outrages! I adore my Riri!” Perrie captioned her shot with Rycardo.

On her picture of Claud, she added: “Right.... Where do I even start? @claudimar1 I am so happy to have you in my life! I don't know how I'd survive without you always having my back! You inspire me so much to do better and be better!

“You're so strong, ambitious, passionate, talented and caring! You talented hunk you! □ Hope you had the best birthday ever! I love you my claudimuff!”

Yup, Zayn’s probably got the idea now, Perrie…
