Despite all of the One Direction boys smashing the charts with their solo hits, Liam Payne, Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson and Niall Horan have always kept hope that one day there WILL be a 1D reunion!
HOWEVER, in news which has completely ruined our Tuesday, former member Zayn Malik has CRUSHED hopes of a full One Direction reunion by admitting he no longer speaks to any of the other boys. π’π’π’
In a recent interview with British Vogue, Zayn, who went solo in 2015, admitted 'snide things' were said after he left the band.
He told the publication, "I ain't spoke to any of them for a long time, to be honest with you. That's just the way it is. There's things that happen and things that were said after I left. Snide things. Small things that I would never have expected.
'We went from theatres, to arenas, to stadiums - there was never any sort of bridge between. Just boom, boom, boom. I guess that kind of progression to any mind - but especially when you're 17, 18 - it kind of affects you a little bit. People take it different ways - especially when there are five different personalities. The relationships had broken apart.
"That's just the way it is. People move on, people grow apart, people grow up."
