Robbie Williams has reached out to Zayn Malik. The singer has reportedly offered his advice to the star after he quit One Direction last week as he sympathises with his decision and feels his exit "mirrors" his own departure from Take That in 1995. The 'Candy' hitmaker believes Zayn will benefit from his help after he received valuable support from Elton John following his own highly publicised exit from the 90s boyband. A source told The Sun newspaper: "Robbie feels a connection with the lads as he's walked in their shoes and feels Zayn's departure mirrors his own from Take That. "Zayn was only a year older than Robbie was when they joined their bands. They both did five years then felt they just had to leave. "He sees himself as one of the few people who can truly understand what Zayn's going through. "He cares enough to offer advice, just like Elton did with him."
