What’s next for Zayn Malik?

ZAYN Malik has sent the online world into meltdown after he sensationally quit One Direction.

However, it’s time to mop up those tears as it seems Perrie Edwards‘ other half won’t be out of our lives for long.

With speculation already starting as to what Zayn will be up to next, it appears odds are high for the The X Factor star to be back in the charts THIS year.

According to bookmakers, the 22 year old has odds of 4/6 to bring out his first piece of solo material in 2015.

We’re not fully convinced that’s a safe bet mind you…

A statement announcing Zayn’s departure read: “After five incredible years Zayn Malik has decided to leave One Direction.

“Niall, Harry, Liam and Louis will continue as a four-piece and look forward to the forthcoming concerts of their world tour and recording their fifth album, due to be released later this year.”

Here’s hoping we get to see his face again sooner rather than later…
