Life at The X Factor
In 2010, at the young age of 17, Zayn Malik travelled to Manchester to audition for the seventh season of the reality-television singing competition series The X Factor. At his first audition, he sang ‘Let Me Love you’ by the RNB singer Mario, and passed through to the next round of auditions with no problems. Unfortunately, he was eliminated before the final round of auditions, but the Judges Simon Cowell and Nicole Scherzinger grouped him with four other fellow contestants to form a new act for the show. This act later came to be One Direction. The group finished third in the competition, and shortly afterwards was signed to Syco music label owned by Cowell.
Romance and dating life
Many fans consider Malik to be the “bad boy” of One Direction because of his numerous tattoos, mischievous behaviour, and his dyed, weird hairstyle. He has dated Rebecca Ferguson who was a fellow contestant in The X Factor, and Geneva Lane of Belle Amie, the girl group. In December 2011, Zayn began dating Perrie Edwards, a member of the less famous girl group called Little Mix. In August of 2013, the couple announced that they were engaged.
