One Direction heartthrob Zayn Malik has been pictured kissing Little Mix singer Perrie Edwards.

The pair have often been linked in the tabloid media and the public display of affection seemingly adds a little credence to the rumours.

The Sun reports that they were seen kissing and spending time together on a London street, riding on a scooter and also hugging.

Malik is of course headed off to the US once again, this time to embark on a headline tour of North America.

They will play a number of dates as they look to capitalise on their buzz creating trip earlier this year, with fellow Brit Olly Murs signed up to support on some of the shows.
