He’s obviously formed a close bond with Little Mix star Perrie Edwards, 22, through his romance with her band mate Jesy Nelson, 24.
And Rixton’s Jake Roche, 22, had some choice words for Perrie’s former fiancé Zayn Malik, 22, – who reportedly ended their four year romance last month over text.
Jake – who popped the question to Jesy last month – blasted: ‘I think he’s a f***ing idiot. The way he’s treated her [Perrie] is horrible. He’s not a very nice man. Professionally he’s talented but - and I’m speaking from what I’ve seen - he should be ashamed.’
Jake added: ‘It’s a shame. He’s talented but he’s spoiled it.’
