Just hours after rumours that he cheated on girlfriend Perrie Edwards circulated, One Direction's Zayn Malik jetted back to the UK from France to try and save their relationship.

As the star couple were spotted leaving a Nottingham Hotel on Sunday after a series of crisis talks, photos of the Australian waitress he reportedly slept with have emerged.

The 20-year-old popstar was confronted by his girlfriend over allegations that he had a fling with Courtney Webb last Wednesday after meeting in a London nightclub while Little Mix were on tour.

A day after the allegations emerged, Zayn was on a plane back to the UK after the NRJ Music Awards and made his way straight to where his girlfriend was staying to try and resolve their issues.

But although the purple-haired X Factor winner agreed to meet her boyfriend, the couple were spotted looking tense as they left the hotel together around midday.

Zayn puffed on a cigarette before jumping into a taxi with his girlfriend, who put on make-up in the backseat as they drove off.

A source told The Sun that the couple are expected to put the fling behind them and repair their relationship: 'Perrie's still deeply in love with Zayn. She's very unlikely to end the relationship after this episode.'

Blonde Courtney, 21, took photos of the global superstar while he was asleep in bed, after reportedly sleeping with him after their night out.

The waitress, who allegedly met Zayn in central London club DSTRKT, claimed not to have known who the star was or that he was in a relationship at the time of the fling.

Courtney, who is picture dressed in a spiked black leather jacket and skin-tight camouflage jeans, told The Sun:

'He's an absolute s**t. How dare he - not only to me but to Perrie?'

She added: 'I definitely don't think it's the first time he's done this. I feel sorry for Perrie - she doesn't know this is going on. It's wrong and it has to stop.'

Collecting as much evidence as she could while at Zayn's £2.2 million London home, the waitress left little doubt by taking pictures of his distinctive tattoos.

She claims she realised he may have a girlfriend after seeing a number of Perrie's belongings dotted around his room, including fake eyelashes and make-up.

But he allegedly told her: 'Don't worry about her she's on tour.
