Zayn Malik and Perrie Edwards 'splash out £3million on new love nest'

They've had a dramatic 2015, but it looks like Zayn Malik and Perrie Edwards are moving forward in their relationship.

The former One Direction star and his Little Mix singer fiancée have reportedly splashed out £3million on a luxury love nest.

The six bedroom home just outside London is the couple's way of proving 'how serious they are' about each other, according to insiders, after Perrie was accused of being the reason Zayn quit his chart-topping band this year.

Zayn, 22, and Perrie, 21, have reportedly bought a six-bedroom, five-bathroom house that was previously lived in by a well-known Premier League football star.

A source has told The Sun that the house signals a big milestone in the couple's relationship, nearly two years on from their engagement:

'This is a big statement by Perrie and Zayn. They've had to shoot down rumours of a split after his exit from the band and this is both of them showing everyone just how serious they are.'

'They're engaged and need somewhere they can both call home - and this house is it.'

The luxurious property is split into two wings and also features a three-bedroom guest cottage, with the insider describing the property as 'a safe haven' the couple can retreat to when Perrie isn't away on tour with Little Mix.

Following Zayn's departure from One Direction in March, the source adds that as the former boybander 'has a bit more time on his hands than he used to...this is a good place to be for him to hang out with mates or just spend some time alone. Plus it is just half an hour or so from London so Zayn won't be going into exile just yet.'

In March Zayn and Perrie were spotted checking out a £2million mock-Tudor mansion in Welwyn, Hertfordshire, with the two currently living together in North London.

The new house comes amid a turbulent time for the couple, after fans targeted Perrie following her fiance's decision to quit One Direction. Some loyal Directioners even compared the blonde to Yoko Ono, the widow of the late John Lennon, who was infamously blamed for breaking up the Beatles.

Three months on from Zayn's departure, some fans are still raging with the less-than-pleasant hashtag, #CANCELYOURENGAGEMENTZAYN, trending on Twitter this week.

In an interview with OK! magazine last month, Perrie defended her fiance insisting: 'Zayn is his own person and makes his own decisions. Whatever he wanted to do during that time, I was going to support him 100 per cent.'

Asked if she's happier now, she said: 'Yes. I'm happy if he's happy.'

Duncan Bannatyne, 66, can't keep his hands off stunning girlfriend Nigora Whitehorn

They've been inseparable ever since they started dating a month ago and Duncan Bannatyne and girlfriend Nigora Whitehorn put on a typically loved-up display in London on Wednesday. 

The TV star began dating Nigora after being dumped online by former Miss Great Britain Michelle Evans and couldn't keep his hands off her as they went shopping together. 

Dental treatment coordinator Nigora - who has called Duncan, 66, the 'most generous man I've ever met in my life' - dressed for the shopping trip in an off-the-shoulder green frock and flat sandals.

He kept it casual in a black T-shirt and shorts with a pair of flip flops as he kept her arm firmly around Nigora's waist. 

The pair met when he visited the Harley Street dental practice where she works but Duncan dmitted he became 'obsessed' with the brunette beauty before they even started dating and was plotting ways he could get to see her again.

However, the Scottish entrepreneur - who has daughters Abigail, Hollie, Jennifer and Eve with first wife Gail and daughter Emily and son Thomas with his second wife Joanne McCue - confessed he's yet to introduce Nigora to his children. 

The pair's cosy outing comes after Duncan hinted just two weeks into the relationship that the pair could be set to marry. 

The businessman was hit by allegations he'd threatened to post naked pictures of his ex-girlfriend Michelle, but revealed he was unfazed by the claims because he is 'madly in love' with Nigora. 

When asked on ITV's This Morning if he's 'bitter' about Michelle's recent 'kiss and tell', Duncan said: 'You don't feel bitter when you're madly in love. I feel like an excited school boy.'

However, he went on to explain his side of the story as he said: 'What happened is one of the papers printed a picture of Nigora and I together having dinner, and we weren't in a relationship, just as friends and Michelle just went mad and that was it and that ended.'

He added, 'And about five weeks before everything happened, she [Michelle] had gone on holiday for three weeks with her friends and when she came back she was too busy to see me because she was taking lessons in how to be a PT instructor or something like that…' 

On the private text messages being made public and the 'revenge porn' comment, Duncan admitted, 'Yeah, obviously that was a mistake… but she was threatening to tell the story, and I said, 'well are you happy for me to show the pictures?'

Phillip Schofield asked, 'Did you threaten to send those pictures?'

Nigora responded, 'No, he didn't… I've seen the texts as well and it was no threat at all.'

In another she is wearing an intricately patterned body by Versace, and a third shot sees her pose in velvet while holding a kitten. 

Indian teenager is worshipped - but may need it removed as he's unable to walk

Arshid Ali Khan has been hailed a reincarnation of the Hindu god Hanuman

Local people believe their wishes will come true if they visit him

But, Arshid is considering surgery to remove the tail and help him walk

He has not been formally diagnosed but could have a type of spina bifida

An Indian teenager is worshipped as a god because he has a 7ins ‘tail’.

Arshid Ali Khan, 13, has become a divine symbol in the state of Punjab.

Locals have hailed him a reincarnation of the Hindu monkey god Hanuman - and refer to him as Balaji.

However, Arshid has to use a wheelchair and he is considering having the ‘tail’ removed.

He said: ‘This tail has been given to me by God. I am worshipped because I pray to god and the wishes of people come true.

Mr Qureshi, a music instructor, said: ‘When he spoke for the first time at the age on one all he spoke was the names of Gods from different religions.

‘It was that day I realised that he had something divine and godly about him.’

He added: ‘It does not matter whether we are Muslims or Hindus, I think there is just one path for spiritualism.’

Arshid's home has been converted into a temple where his devotees come to visit him to receive his blessings and touch his ‘tail’.

‘A lot of people’s wishes have come true after they have visited,’ claimed Mr Qureshi.

‘Sometimes there are childless couples who come to Balaji for help. He blesses them, and often they are then able to conceive.’

However, Arshid often struggles to balance his time with his faithful devotees and attending school and playing with his friends.

He said: ‘Mostly on weekdays I have to go to school but when I have a school holiday on Sunday around 20 to 30 people come to see me at my home.’

He added: ‘No one teases me. Everybody wants to see my tail and so they keep asking.’

Despite his supposed powers, Arshid has to use a wheelchair and suffers from an undiagnosed disorder.

Some doctors in India have told the family it is down to brittle bones while others have said it is due to the 'tail' growth protruding from his spine.

Others have suggested he has a form of spina bifida called meningocele.

This develops when membranes poke through a hole between the vertebrae, and it can lead to partial paralysis.

This month he is due to see a doctor who has said he can successfully remove the appendage - but his family are sceptical and say they would rather he kept his tail than undertake a risky operation.

But Mr Qureshi said: ‘It is for Balaji to decide. If he wants to get the tail removed, we do not mind.

‘He has trouble walking and so we are asking doctors what can be done.’

As for Arshid, he does not believe the removal of the tail will stop the crowds flocking to his house for blessings.

He said: ‘Doctors can remove my tail - but people will continue to believe in me.’
