Camila Cabello cried when Zayn Malik left One Direction

Former Fifth Harmony singer Camila Cabello says she was left heartbroken when Zayn Malik announced his departure from One Direction.

The songstress says she is a huge fan of the group and it was like the "end of an era" for her when the 24-year-old heartthrob exited from the boyband in March 2015, reported Contactmusic.

"I mean, I was like a huge One Direction fan. They were like the reason why I tried out for 'X-Factor'.

"I cried (when Zayn Malik left the band), not gonna lie.

Because it's the end of an era. It's the end of an era. And obviously, like I literally - you don't understand. I had a twitter account for One Direction. Like I was one of those fangirls at one point," Cabello, 20, says.
