Zayn Malik: Darth 'theft' was all a mistake
DARTH Vader is to get his gloves back from One Direction prankster Zayn Malik — thanks to The Sun.
Zayn, 19, said he didn't realise the black gauntlets belonged to Star Wars impersonator Jeff Ives when he put them on during a visit to Radio One.
The Sun yesterday showed cheeky Zayn posing in the costume pieces as the boyband and Jeff were guests on the same show.
Jeff, 44 — who paid £40 for the custom-made pair — demanded them back and 1D's management tracked them down.
A spokesman for the band said: "Zayn wasn't even aware that these belonged to Darth Vader until we raised it with him.
"He thought they belonged to one of the other boys — he thought it was part of the 1D wardrobe.
"Zayn apologises to Darth Vader. We've tracked them down and they will be returned."

Jeff, of Peterborough, Cambs, said last night: "I'm just pleased I'll get my gloves back."
