Simon Cowell has opened up about Zayn Malik’s decision to leave One Direction, reassuring the boy’s fans that the group will be around for a long time to come.

Speaking to Sugarscape at the launch of Britain's Got Talent in London yesterday (April 9), the music mogul revealed that Harry, Niall, Louis and Liam were initially “surprised and shocked” over Malik’s decision, but claimed the 22-year old’s exit is NOT the end of 1D.

When quizzed about Zayn’s next move, SiCo told the website: “He's a fantastic singer. He's got to get his head together a little bit. He needs some time on his own, as he said, to be a normal 22-year-old which he's going to have.  

“I’ve always said to all of them 'the future's bright for all of you depending on what you want to do.' We've always hoped that One Direction would stay together for a long time and my hunch is it still will. They're just too good for everything to stop now.”

Cowell continued: "They were surprised and shocked, but now they've got over it. Well not got over it, got used to it. They've been professional and they're respecting the fans who've turned up to see a great show and that's what they're doing.

Going out tonight, changes into something red
Her mother doesn't like that kind of dress
Everything she never had, she's showing off

Driving too fast, moon is breaking through her hair
She's headin' for something that she won't forget
Having no regrets is all that she really wants

We're only getting older, baby
And I've been thinking about it lately
Does it ever drive you crazy
Just how fast the night changes?
Everything that you've ever dreamed of
Disappearing when you wake up
But there's nothing to be afraid of
Even when the night changes
It will never change me and you

Chasing her tonight, doubts are running 'round her head
He's waiting, hides behind a cigarette
Heart is beating loud and she doesn't want it to stop
Moving too fast, Moon is lighting up her skin
She's falling, doesn't even know it yet
Having no regrets is all that she really wants

We're only getting older, baby
And I've been thinking about it lately
Does it ever drive you crazy
Just how fast the night changes?
Everything that you've ever dreamed of
Disappearing when you wake up
But there's nothing to be afraid of
Even when the night changes
It will never change me and you, ooh

Going out tonight, changes into something red
Her mother doesn't like that kind of dress
Reminds her of the missing piece of innocence she lost

We're only getting older, baby
And I've been thinking about it lately
Does it ever drive you crazy
Just how fast the night changes?
Everything that you've ever dreamed of
Disappearing when you wake up
But there's nothing to be afraid of
Even when the night changes
It will never change, baby
It will never change, baby
It will never change me and you

The X Factor head honcho went on to rubbish claims that the rest of 1D have all fallen out as a result of Zayn’s departure, concluding: “You can't work together for this long if you're not friends. You have little spats, everyone does."

So, there you have it! 1D are here to stay, HURRAH!
