Zayn Malik has praised Gigi Hadid's intelligence.

The 21-year-old supermodel may be one of the most beautiful women in the world but her boyfriend says he loves her for her mind.
Zayn, 23, told Elle magazine: "She's super intelligent. I think that's why it works so well. And we do the same type of job so we get that with each other."
The singer/songwriter quit One Direction in March 2015 and released his debut solo album 'Mind Of Mine' exactly one year later and Zayn said he had to leave the boyband because he was creatively stifled.
He explained: "At that time in my life I felt I had done everything I could do there and I just needed to change it up. It didn't feel brave.
"My entire life has changed in the last year. I'm still taking it all in. I've found so much out about myself. Mostly how in love with music I still was.
"The album is a build-up of six years and never being able to express what I wanted to say. I had something to get off my chest."
Meanwhile, Zayn joked that he rarely goes back to his hometown of Bradford because he isn't treated like a celebrity there.
He said: "When I go back to Bradford they treat me exactly the same. I only go back for a few days otherwise they have me taking out the bins."
