But there’s also one small reference to the singer’s former life as one fifth of One Direction. Instead, DJ Greg James broadcast a tribute segment to Sir Terry Wogan, who passed away at the weekend.

Remember back when Zayn Malik left One Direction, telling the world he wanted to live a “normal” life.
He was set to appear alongside Will Smith, Ryan Reynolds and the cast of Dad’s Army.
“Unfortunately there was a scheduling conflict as Zayn is now in the studio completing his album”, the official statement said according to the Mirror, while a source added: “It’s bad luck but he’s still in the studio working on his album”. Or is that last bit actually “I need you?”
This is despite the fact that Zayn has said they’re just “good friends”.
“But that’s not the case, I tried to reach out and be their friend, but they haven’t even replied to any of my calls or texts”.
Zayn has not tweeted about the situation but has retweeted his record label’s announcement that he’ll be on another show in the US, The Elvis Duran Show, this morning.
