Zayn Malik has sent fans wild after sharing a rare selfie to Instagram on Saturday.
The former One Direction star, 30, uploaded a moody snap of himself pouting into the camera while bathed in sunlight.
Cutting a casual figure in a white Lacoste T-shirt, Zayn failed to write a caption after snapping the sombre image of himself.
But that didn’t stop his adoring fans from flooding the comments with appreciative messages, with one even writing ‘What a great thing to wake up to’.
A few days prior, Zayn also posted a snap from a recording studio, fuelling rumours that he could be set to release new music soon.

Single pringle: It comes shortly after Selena Gomez shut down romance rumours between the pair as she declared herself single
It comes shortly after Selena Gomez shut down romance rumours between the pair as she declared herself single.
Earlier this year, Zayn and the Calm Down hitmaker, 30, found themselves at the center of wild speculation that they were dating.
TikTok user Klarissa Garcia posted a viral video in which she claimed a friend of hers is a hostess at a restaurant where Zayn and Selena dined together.
Klarissa then showed a screen-grab of her friend’s WhatsApp messages claiming that she saw the pop stars kissing at the eatery.
‘Tell me how Selena Gomez And zayne Just walked into [redacted] Hand in hand Making out And I seated them,’ read a breathless string of texts.
Selena, who is a longtime pal of One Direction’s Niall Horan, is one of the only 18 people Zayn follows on Instagram.
And earlier this month, the star playfully bellowed: ‘I’m single!’ in a TikTok, putting paid to the conjecture that has been pursuing her lately.
Selena, who has also been linked to Andrew Taggart of late, attempted to lay the chatter to rest this week with a video of her and some friends lounging about at the edge of a public soccer pitch.

‘I’m single!’ Selena shouted at the men playing some distance way. ‘I’m just a little high maintenance but I love you all so much!’
Although she managed to elicit a few giggles from her pals, Selena failed to get the attention of any of the men. ‘The struggle man lol,’ she captioned.
Near the start of this year she was linked to The Chainsmokers’ sizzling Andrew Taggart, and though she announced she was ‘single’ in January she was glimpsed two days later holding hands with him in New York.
‘Selena and Drew have an amazing connection,’ an Us Weekly source claimed. ‘They’re so happy to have gone with their guts and jumped in to give this a try.’
The pair were said to be ‘very into each other,’ according to the insider, who gushed that Selena ‘loves’ what a ‘nice guy’ Andrew is.

However by early May, Andrew was spotted leaving a VIP party in Miami hand in hand with a leggy mystery woman who towered over him.
In the intervening time, Selena found herself dogged by claims that she had taken up with One Direction alum Zayn Malik.
When the conjecture about Selena and Zayn began to swirl in March, a source told Page Six that the pair previously had a brief dalliance a decade ago.
The insider claimed that Zayn and Selena briefly had a ‘thing’ while her close friend Taylor Swift was dating his One Direction bandmate Harry Styles.
