Zayn Malik is giving us a hell of a lot of gossip to mull over this week - and the his latest reveal is that you might well have seen him on Tinder.
The 31-year-old turned chart-topping solo star has been opening up and reflecting on his past exploits in a series of no-holds-barred interviews.
I’m sure there’s a fair few women out there who saw a profile of Zayn Malik on Tinder, thought ‘obviously I’m not going to fall for that’, before swiping left and going on with their day.

Well, we’re sorry to inform you that it may well have been the former One Direction member himself, after all.
In a recent interview with Nylon, Zayn shared that he’s ‘dabbled’ with Tinder, before adding: “It’s not been too successful for me, I’ll be honest.”
He continued: “Everyone accused me of catfishing. They’re like, ‘What are you using Zayn Malik’s pictures for?’ I’ve been kicked off once or twice.”

He then added: “I’m really content and happy with being single for the first time in my life.”
Suffice to say, he probably won’t be on Tinder again for a while.
One has to wonder why he didn’t just stick to celebrity dating app Raya and avoid having his profile removed time and time again…
Perhaps the Bradford-born man was looking for something a little more down to earth.

Despite Zayn having two high profile relationships in the past - firstly when engaged to Little Mix’s Perrie Edwards, before calling it off and embarking on a relationship with supermodel Gigi Hadid - it seems he is unlucky in love, or at least reflecting on his exes.
He said: "From 17 to 21, I was in a relationship [with Perrie].
"I was engaged and [planned to get] married and I didn’t know anything about anything at that point.
"I thought I did, because I was 21. I was legally allowed to do everything, but I didn’t know s**t.”
He continued: "From 21 to 27, I was with Gi, and we had a kid, and I didn’t really take much time to get to know myself.

In an interview on The Zach Sang Show last week, Zayn opened up: “I don’t know if I’ve ever actually truly been in love at this point."
Host Zach then made a point about the love Zayn feels about his daughter, Khai, who he shares with Gigi.
Zayn added: "I'm in love with her as my child."
Zayn made the distinction between that and being 'in love with somebody who is a complete separate entity.'

"They’re not my family, I have no blood with them, like, I’m in love with this person, you know? I don’t know."
