One Direction rep confirms Zayn and Louis 'joint' video is in the hands of "lawyers"

A rep for One Direction has confirmed that a video of Zayn Malik and Louis Tomlinson seemingly smoking a joint is now "in the hands of their lawyers".

The Daily Mail published a world exclusive video last night (May 27) of what appears to be the two boyband singers in the back of a car in Peru smoking marijuana in April.

The clip seems to clearly show the duo pass around a joint and make reference to the drug.

Tomlinson apparently says at one point in the clip: "One very very important factor of Zayn’s warm up of course if Mary J herself. In fact I will present it to him now for some fantastic singing."

The singer, who is seemingly filming and narrating the video, says at the start of the clip: "So here we are, leaving Peru. Joint lit. Happy days!"

A rep for the band has now issued a statement to the Daily Mail to say:

"The matter is now in the hands of our lawyers."
