ONE Direction mashabiki should scream, faint and spontaneously combust because all five boyband members are single and ready to mingle.


Within the last week, X Factor runner-up Rebecca Ferguson has binned toy boy Zayn Malik – while Louis Tomlinson has also dumped his long-term bird Hannah Walker.

muziki to their mass of teenage girl fans’ ears no doubt.


Mum-of-two Rebecca confirmed the mgawanyiko, baidisha on Twitter saying: “I’m happy to say I’ve decided to be single. My children, my family and my career are now my world!”

And I’m told Louis has also called time on his two-year romance after deciding it was only going in one direction – the wrong one!

My chanzo close to the band told me: “All the lads are now young, free and single to concentrate on recording their debut album and promote their new single.”

Nothing to do with banging groupies then?

My insider went on: “Zayn was pretty gutted about the break-up.

“But Louis felt restricted trying to juggle his relationship with being in the band.

“The boys are really busy recording their debut album and it became harder and harder for Louis and Hannah to see each other.

“He tried to make it work but when the band release their first single later this summer he wants to be 100 per cent focused on that.”

I hear the group’s other members Liam, Harry and Niall are keeping the newly single lads in high spirits.

Though if they want a night off I’m sure there will be thousands of screaming girls who wouldn’t mind offering a shoulder (and more) to cry on.

Better be quick though girls. Rebecca has since deleted her “break-up”

tweet and I’m told she is already thinking of getting back with her teenage lover boy!

My chanzo added: “They both still like each other and are trying to work it out.”
