Zayn quits 1 Direction world tour but will he still be heading to SA?

One Direction member, Zayn Malik, has left the band mid tour to return to the UK after suffering from "stress".

Zayn has been in the papers recently after he was rumoured to be cheating on his fiancee, Perrie Edwards.

A band's spokesperson confirmed that Zayn had flown home in the middle of the band's world tour to recover from stress with the support of his family and friends.

Zayn hasn't said how long he will be out of action, but apparently hopes to return by the time the band plays in South Africa at the end of the month.

Here's to hoping he does!
