Zayn Malik has thanked his fans for "love and thoughts" after posting a cryptic apology tweet.

The 26-year-old star later deleted the tweet without revealing the reason behind it, and tweeted, again, to say he's "happy".

His comments come after his former bandmate Louis Tomlinson recently revealed how he fell out with Zayn when he refused to show up to support him when he performed on 'The X Factor' just days after the death of his mother Johannah Deakin in 2016.

Meanwhile, Zayn's tweet could also be directed at Gigi Hadid, as the pair - who have been in a relationship since November 2015 - have been on and off in their romance since they first split in March last year.
