Speaking to the Daily Star, Collabro singer Michael Auger explained that he’s glad Collabro are a older than the 1D lads and got to enjoy their teen years away from the limelight.

Jamie Lambert also weighed in on the matter, telling the paper that while he doesn’t advocate drug use, he does sympathise with Zayn and his bandmates.

“They can’t do things that normal people do without being judged on a global level.

As ‘BGT’ winners, Collabro have been awarded £250,000 and a slot on the Royal Variety Show line-up.

If Simon Cowell decides to sign them, they’ll be labelmates with One Direction.

Collabro beat favourites Bars And Melody to finish first in last night’s ‘BGT’ final. The young rap duo came third, while opera singer Lucy Kay was awarded second place.

Since the video of Zayn Malik emerged online, the band have not made an official statement.

Louis Tomlinson, who filmed and narrated the clip, has remained silent, along with Zayn, Harry Styles and Niall Horan.
