Liam Payne has revealed Zayn Malik's mother Tricia forced him to audition for The X Factor and he didn't want to try out for the show himself.
The pair both found fame as members of One Direction but Liam, 26, admitted he doesn't think Zayn, 27, enjoys the fame that comes with a successful music career.
Speaking to the Daily Star Online, he said: 'I remember Zayn telling us the story that it was his mum got him to go to the audition the day he didn't want to go and that was literally what we saw all the way through One Direction.'
During the height of their fame with One Direction, Liam admitted that he, Harry Styles, Niall Horan and Louis Tomlinson realised Zayn wasn't always happy in the group.
He said: 'We always kind of knew that there were moments when One Direction was really Zayn and then there were moments when it really wasn't.'
Liam added that many people who audition for shows like The X Factor are teenagers and often just want to impress people they know without knowing what they really want to do in life.
The Strip That Down star insisted that while Zayn, who has struggled with anxiety, loves making music, he doesn't like to perform.
However, Liam insisted hopes for all five members of the boy band getting back together are somewhat 'pre-mature', particularly in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic.
He said: 'I think it is a bit premature [to think us re-following Zayn means he's back]. Look at it this the way, every time one of us releases an album it is another two years and now with this [coronavirus] on top of it everyone has had to backlog tours almost and cancel things.'
