Zayn Malik Leaves One Direction Tour, Heads To UK To Patch Things Up With Girlfriend Perrie Edwards Amid Cheating Rumors

Zayn Malik had to leave his One Direction band mates behind mid-tour and head back home to the UK - his girlfriend and fiancee Perrie Edwards isn't too happy with her betrothed. Amid rumors and incriminating photos that suggest Zayn Malik got a little too close and personal with a strange woman while One Direction was in Thailand, it looks like Zayn Malik had to ditch his One Direction responsibilities so that his girlfriend Perrie Edwards doesn't ditch him.

Zayn was featured in photos taken with a certain Essex girl Lauren Richardson; his hands are around her waist in one photo and he's holding hands with her in another.

Zayn denied the rumors that he cheated on his fiancee and Little Mix singer Perrie Edwards while in Thailand with Lauren with a message on Twitter stating clearly:

Despite this, just days later a rep for One Direction announced that Zayn was going to quit the current tour for now.

"Zayn has been signed off with stress and is flying back to the UK to recuperate," the rep told E! News. "The band wish him well and will continue with their performances in Manila and Jakarta."

Zayn was soon spotted entering the home he and Perrie share in the UK, the Daily Mail reports. After five hours of talking, Perrie was pictured leaving the home in the early hours of Friday morning, while shielding her face and getting into a taxi with several bulky bags. HollywoodLife.com notes that while it looks like Perrie was leaving Zayn for good, she was still wearing her engagement ring.

Meanwhile, One Direction band mate Louis Tomlinson and his girlfriend Eleanor Calder split after four years of dating.

This month isn't going too well for the young 1D lads.
