Odds on One Direction splitting halved after Zayn Malik quits tour

The odds on One Direction breaking up have been slashed after Zayn Malik left the band's current tour due to stress.

As previously reported, the group will perform as a quartet for at least their next three gigs after the singer returned home to the UK.

He has been "signed off" with stress, but it is unclear exactly when Malik will return to the fold.

Bookmaker Ladbrokes have now cut their odds in half on One Direction splitting from 8/1 to 4/1.

The boyband have been dogged with rumours of unrest ever since the release of latest album 'FOUR' last year.

One Direction meanwhile are scheduled to take their On The Road Again tour to Manila on March 21 and 22 before playing one show in Jakarta on March 25.
