Los Angeles - One Direction will go up against Zayn Malik at the 2015 Teen Choice Awards.
The Kiss You hitmakers - made up of Harry Styles, Niall Horan, Liam Payne and Louis Tomlinson - are all pitched against their former bandmate, who quit in March this year, in the Fashion Choice Male Hottie category.
Fans of the boyband quickly took to their social media accounts to express their horror at having to choose between the 22-year-old singer and the remaining members of the group.
WHAT IF ONE DIRECTION WINS THE AWARD AND WHEN THEY ARE CALLED TO ACCEPT THE AWARD, ZAYN STANDS UP WITH THE OTHER BOYS AND OMG STOP IT SATAN
