Unveiling the true extent of the bitter fallout for the first time, the singer told Vogue mag’s December issue: “I ain’t spoke to any of them for a long time.

"There are things that happen and things that were said after I left – snide things, small things that I would never have expected. The relationships had broken apart.”

Although Zayn doesn’t outwardly mention his fraught relationship with Harry Styles, the interviewer brings it up, saying: “It was no secret that even when touring together, Zayn and Harry had as little to do with one another as possible, and though he was pally enough with the rest of the boys, they are no longer in touch.

“The love lost is minimal.”

Zayn added: “That’s just the way it is. People move on, people grow apart, people grow up.

“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 affects you a little bit. People take it different ways, especially when there are five personalities.”

There is one relationship that Zayn still has intact – the one with his model girlfriend Gigi Hadid.

He said: “Everything is great. She’s super-organised and I’m really not. I lean on her a lot.”

Let’s hope things don’t go sour between them, too.
