Zayn Malik reaches out to Liam Payne on One Direction anniversary

Zayn Malik has enjoyed a Twitter exchange with Liam Payne.

One Direction celebrated their fifth anniversary this week and Payne took to Twitter to thank his bandmates - including former singer Zayn Malik.

The departed Brit hasn't tended to speak to his former One Direction peers on the social networking site.

However, Malik responded to Payne's tweets by saying:

"Thanks bro! x."

The singer's message has now been retweeted over a quarter of a million times.

One Direction meanwhile are due to release their fifth album later this year.

Malik left the band in March to live a more normal life.
