Girl at centre of Zayn Malik cheat claims says she partied with the One Direction star in a pool at a luxury villa

LAUREN Richardson, 19, told a fellow tourist how she was given a tour of the posh property before joining Zayn and bandmate Louis Tomlinson for a raunchy pool party.

THE Girl at the centre of Zayn Malik cheat claims says she partied with the One Direction star in a pool at a luxury villa in Phuket.

Lauren Richardson, 19, told a fellow tourist how she was given a tour of the posh property before joining Zayn and bandmate Louis Tomlinson for a raunchy party.

The group partied into the early hours before Lauren took a taxi back to the Patong Backpacker Hostel where she bragged to fellow holidaymaker Sean Dolan about her night.

Sean told the Sunday Mirror: “She said Zayn was a lovely guy, and she’d been back to where they were staying – which was apparently incredible.

“She said each of them had a suite to themselves, and she was allowed to take a look around and even messed around in the pool.

"At the villa they had a few drinks and threw a bit of a party. Lauren got a taxi back in the early hours of Wednesday morning.

“It was the talk of the hostel and she was pretty chatty about everything.

“She said she had given Zayn her number but didn’t expect to hear from him again and had enjoyed hanging out together – it sounds like she just had a great time.”

Meanwhile, it\'s thought Zayn Malik is on the verge of quitting One Direction and might not return for the next leg of their world tour.

Zayn, 22, flew home last week after it was claimed he had cheated on his fiancee, Little Mix’s Perrie Edwards.

He was said to be suffering stress but insiders say divisions in the band have been growing for months.

They are set to appear in Johannesburg on Saturday and 1D bosses hope Zayn will fly out to rejoin his bandmates.

But a source claimed: “Zayn’s heart really isn’t in it at the moment, and he wants a lengthy break from the strain of their relentless schedule.

“It’s a while since he’s been really enjoying his time on tour and the events of the last week have made him feel even more strongly he wants a break.

“He has been distancing himself from some of the others for months, they aren’t the tight knit group of mates that they once were.”

Zayn was pictured outside a Thai nightclub on Tuesday night with British girl Lauren Richardson.

Zayn then returned to the UK from Hong Kong on Wednesday and has insisted he still loves Perrie.

The couple spent five hours together at their north London home on Friday.

Sources close to the band say there are tensions between Zayn and the rest of the band, particularly Harry Styles.

One Direction’s relentless tour schedule and work commitments have also put a strain on his relationship with Perrie.

A source said: “Zayn’s attitude to things has begun to take its toll and there have been quite a few fall outs.

“Everyone wants to get things back on track as quickly as possible but things are very tricky at the moment.”

Last night, the band played their first gig without Zayn, taking to the stage in Manila as a four piece.
