Zayn Malik Reveals He Suffered from Eating Disorder

Former One Direction band member, Zayn Malik, has just released his autobiography – and with itm has revealed some pretty shocking tales.

According to the man himself, Zayn suffered from an eating disorder during the time that he was in One Direction.

In his book, Zayn describes how, during the band’s 2014 tour, that he would go days without eating a single meal.
“…When I look back at images of myself from November 2014, before the final tour, I can see how ill I was. Something I’ve never talked about in public before, but which I have come to terms with since leaving the band, is that I was suffering from an eating disorder,” he writes in his book.

He continues explaining that he did not have issues with his weight and that the disorder did not come to fruition out of vanity.

“…It wasn’t as though I had any concerns about my weight or anything like that, I’d just go for days – sometimes two or three days straight – without eating anything at all. It got quite serious, although at the time I didn’t recognise it for what it was,” he said.

He also revealed that he had become physically ill, and that the intense workload also contributed to his ill health:

“…I had lost so much weight I had become ill. The workload and the pace of my life on the road put together with the pressures and strains of everything going on within the band had badly affected my eating habits,” he writes.

Yikes! We’re sure glad he is back on track now!
