Former One Direction star Zayn Malik and his Little Mix fiancée Perrie Edwards have reportedly split.

The pop star duo, both 22, got engaged in 2013 but have called time on their relationship having never publicly announced a wedding date, it has been reported.

The singer got a tattoo of Perrie’s face on his upper right arm earlier in the same year.

Perrie was not wearing her diamond ring in a bikini snap shared on Instagram by her band mate Jesy Nelson on Monday.

The news sent fans into a frenzy with “Perrie” trending on Twitter this evening.

The pair’s love was tested when Zayn was pictured with blonde Lauren Richardson, 26, shortly before he quit One Direction.

Photographs emerged in March of community sports officer Lauren holding hands with the singer in Thailand, and he left the band later that month.

At the time, Zayn tweeted: ”I’m 22 years old, I love a girl named Perrie Edwards. And there’s a lot of jealous f***s in this world, I’m sorry for what it looks like.”

Just last week, Zayn said he will reveal the “real me” to fans, as he revealed he’d signed a new record contract as a solo artist.

And just two days ago, Perrie posted a video on Instagram showing her looking happy as she swung along a zip line.
