One Direction member Liam Payne has insisted the band and Zayn Malik were never really a good fit, as the former member always musically had different ideas from the rest of the boys.

Laim explained: "One Direction was never Zayn's kind of bag. His taste in music was a bit different, and I guess that's kind of what drove him to do what he did in the end, which is not necessarily a bad thing.
"Everyone's come out of it fine thanks to our beautiful fans. And he's off doing what he loves. So both parties are winners in the end of a disaster of a situation. It's all good."
Next year, Liam along with Harry Styles, Niall Horan and Louis Tomlinson will all be enjoying a break from the band.
Louis said: "It feels like we're leaving school. But we will still see plenty of each other. We are actually planning a little lads' holiday.
"I can't say exactly how long the break will be because we don't want to put pressure on ourselves by putting a time limit on it.
"We are really appreciating every show we do now, every single moment. But this isn't the end of One Direction."
