Zayn Malik's rumored fling in Thailand, Lauren Richardson will be starring in ITV2's "Love Island." While Richardson kept mum during those times when Malik was in hot seat over their leaked 'intimate' photo, she is rumored to spill it all in the British reality series.
Lauren Richardson became instantly famous after her photo with former One Direction member Zayn Malik surfaced on the Internet. Malik immediately addressed the rumors via a post on Twitter while Richardson stayed silent during that time.
Now, the 26-year-old Internet star will be appearing in the British reality series "Love Island" on ITV2. Richardson confirmed that she will be one of the contestants in search of love in the reality series, Inquisitr reported.
While some people may think that Richardson will be mentioning about the issue with Malik on the show, she revealed that she hopes to put the issue behind her and instead focus on the kind of guy she hopes to meet in the series.
"I like tattoos. I've got two big ones on the side of my body, one of the top of my back, and six on my arm which nearly makes a full sleeve. Sometimes men find it intimidating. They think I'm scary," Richardson said.
Richardson, however, spilled details of what happened during that night in Thailand. She briefly recounted that she met the "Steal My Girl" hit maker in a nightclub.
Richardson detailed that she and her friends managed to get inside the VIP section and asked Malik for a photo. She also admitted that she thought it would be harmless to post the photo online, as there was "no juicy story behind it."
"It just got blown out of proportion. The picture was just a picture," Richardson revealed, according to Daily Mail.
The rumored affair between Malik and Richardson caused the former to break down and drop out of One Direction's "On The Road Again" tour, which was headed to the Philippines during that time. Malik eventually announced that he will no longer be joining One Direction in their future projects.
Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson, Niall Horan and Liam Payne sent out a heartfelt message to Malik and said that while it's sad to see him go, the boys will remain as good friends.
