Naughty Boy has shared a snap of former One Direction star Zayn Malik on Twitter, revealing that the heartthrob has had his nose pierced.

Like his girlfriend Perrie Edwards, Malik can now be sporting a small nose stud in his right nostril, following in the Little Mix star’s footsteps, who wears a silver hoop in the same place.

[related]The ‘La La La’ hitmaker - who has been busy in the studio with Malik - captioned the pic: “Got me on that go dumb s**t @zaynmalik.”

It’s unclear whether the producer meant that Zayn’s new piercing was “dumb” or whether they were just doing some “dumb s**t” together, but either way, it’s nice to see that they are still hanging out - especially after Naughty Boy recently clashed with ex-bandmate Louis Tomlinson on Twitter.

Zayn is set to attend The Asian Awards in London tonight (April 17) with Naughty Boy, which will mark his first public appearance since leaving 1D.

Keep your eyes peeled for that piercing, Directioners…
