One Direction released a surprise single 'Drag Me Down' last Friday (31st July).

Ex-bandmate Zayn Malik was quick to congratulate the boys on their new single which shot straight to the top spot in 82 countries, making it the fastest single ever to reach the top of the iTunes chart.

Previously Zayn had come under fire from 1D fans as he tweeted using the hashtag #realmusic, many took that to be a negative comment about the music he had done as part of One Direction.

However, ex-bandmate Liam Payne told Jo Parkerson that he didn't think that was the case, saying the pair haven't spoken for quite a while, but he was "dead excited to hear some of his stuff".

Liam also revealed that he was shocked to hear his bandmate Louis is going to be a Dad! "He's taken super well to it and he's excited you know" he told Jo, "he's taking it very seriously, so it's all good."

The boys can't wait to have a baby One D-er on their tour!
