Little Mix singer Perrie Edwards, ex-fiancee of former One Direction star Zayn Malik, has appeared to call him a "bellend" in a radio interview.

The band strongly hinted that Malik is the subject of their new song 'Hair', which has the chorus: "He was just a d*** and I knew it."

When asked about the song on the Total Access radio show, bandmate Jade Thirlwall said: "Sometimes when you break up with someone they are that word, so it's alright to say in a song."

Edwards then piped up in the background: "Yeah he is. He was just a bellend and I knew it," possibly referring to her former fiancee.

Malik and Edwards met when they were contestants on the X Factor in 2010, and became engaged in 2013.

However, the pair split up in August this year, not long after Zayn announced he would be leaving One Direction to be a "normal 22-year-old".
