Sinitta isn't surprised Zayn Malik had to take a break from the One Direction tour.
Sinitta
The 'Night Changes' hitmaker returned to the United Kingdom after being "signed off for stress" following media speculation about his personal life and Sinitta - who regularly appears on the talent show which founded the band - thinks the group's "non-stop" schedule is partly to blame.
Speaking to BANG Showbiz at the London premiere of 'Cinderella', she said: "All I know is that the guys have worked non-stop, tirelessly since they left the show. You know, it's got to build up.
"You see a lot of young artists go and do that. They go and go and go and go, and you've got your youth and adrenaline to run on, sometimes you just need a break."
Despite understanding the 22-year-old singer needs some time away from the touring commitments of the group, - which also features Harry Styles, Liam Payne, Niall Horan and Louis Tomlinson - the 51-year-old singer believes the pop star should enjoy life more whilst he's young.
She said: "I would strike while the iron is hot. You're not young very long. You're a long time old."
When asked if she had a message for Zayn, she added: "We love you, Zayn - get well soon."
Zayn has been at the centre of much media speculation recently after he was photographed partying with a female fan in Phuket, Thailand.
