Zayn Malik Cosies Up To Mystery Blonde On Instagram

Zayn Malik's latest Instagram post is getting a lot of attention.  The former One Directioner took to the social media site to share a snap of himself looking very cosy with a mystery blonde.

The 22-year-old, who called off his engagement to Little Mix star Perrie Edwards earlier this year, didn't caption the image. However, it didn't take long for speculation to swirl, with many suggesting the singer is retaliating against Perrie's own cosy picture with hunky backing dancer last week. Perrie posted the image to Instagram along with the caption: " My love for this boy is outrages (sic)".

Reunited with this one last night! My love for this boy is outrages! I adore my Riri! ? @rycardogomez_ A photo posted by Perrie Edwards ✌️? (@perrieeele) on Sep 23, 2015 at 4:34am PDT

Soon after, Zayn took to Twitter to post a cryptic message which many felt was directed at the Black Magic songstress.

I don't want you to wait for me, I'm not coming home✌️

Fans have taken to Twitter to comment on the gorgeous blonde's uncanny resemblance to Perrie.
