Zayn Malik has pulled out of his first solo TV appearance on the Graham Norton show.

The former One Direction star, 23, was scheduled to appear on the chat show this Friday, but has reportedly cancelled at the last minute.

According to The Sun, ‘scheduling issues’ were behind the singer’s reason to drop out just a couple of days before recording.

An insider told the paper: “This is a very last-minute decision from Zayn and his team.

"But it will spark talk of something being wrong behind the scenes. This appearance is a big deal to both Zayn and his fans.

Malik and Norton’s team are reportedly in the process of trying to reschedule the interview for a later date.

The high profile appearance would have been Malik’s first filmed interview since his departure from One Direction.

Malik is due to release his debut solo single this Friday.
