The 25-year-old singer devastated fans after he revealed no longer speaks to Niall Horan, Liam Payne, Harry Styles or Louis Tomlinson, accusing them of being “snide” after he left the group in 2015.

Opening up on the fallout, he told British Vogue: “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.”
