One Direction have refuted claims Zayn Malik was booed during their show in Cardiff, Wales on Friday night (05.06.15).

It has been claimed that the appearance of Zayn's face on a big screen during the show led to jeers from the band's avid supporters, but the group - which now features Liam Payne, 21, Harry Styles, 21, Louis Tomlinson, 23, and Niall Horan, 21 - have rebuffed those claims.

Asked about the reports, Louis said: ''It's the first we've heard of it, no.''

Liam added: ''I don't think that's true, if I'm honest.''

Meanwhile, it's been suggested Zayn is looking to make the move into theatre acting.

The 22-year-old singer is apparently keen to try his hand at stage acting during the Old Vic's 24 Hour Plays series, which takes place in the autumn.

A source shared: ''Everyone expects Zayn to go a certain way now he has quit 1D but his people are already talking with organisers of the 24 Hour Plays to get him involved.

''They want him to make a cameo, which won't require much acting but will see him in a grown-up light among some great A-list company. They also want to maintain his profile in America.''
