Simon Cowell thinks Zayn Malik should take a break from Twitter

Music mogul Simon Cowell has revealed that he thinks former One Direction star Zayn Malik should take a break from Twitter before he posts something he regrets. 

Speaking to press at the recent 'X Factor' launch, Cowell explained that Malik needs to take a step back and look at his attitude because it might be best to take a little time out:

"I don't like this Twitter stuff, you are always going to regret what you say on Twitter. With Zayn I just think he needs to get a sense of perspective back in his life, which is that he had a really great opportunity, he decided for whatever reason he didn't want to do it anymore so maybe just keep quiet for a while, make a great record and enjoy life."

"I haven't spoken to him recently. Once the decision was made that he was going to leave the group we always said we would never have him compete with them."

'Kickstarts' hitmaker Example recently made similar comments about Malik's social media activity and told Britain's Daily Star newspaper that the singer's Twitter spat with Calvin Harris was awkward: "He's probably just a young frustrated guy who is hitting out."
