One Direction 2012: Zayn Malik supports girlfriend Perrie Edwards during concert & he and Louis Tomlinson prank the band (VIDEO)

Zayn Malik was reportedly the model boyfriend last night, as he watched his girlfriend perform in Liverpool

One Direction were headlining a concert in the city’s Echo Arena and also on the lineup was his girlfriend Perrie Edwards’ band Little Mix.

After spending the morning flying from London to Manchester with his bandmates and eight competition winners, the handsome star 

passed the hours before his gig in Perrie’s hotel room, where the pair enjoyed some quality time together.

Last night onlookers say that Malik was visibly excited when Little Mix took to the stage and stayed out in the audience, smiling at the blonde beauty and singing along with their songs as the X Factor winners performed.

Awww ain’t love sweet.

Meanwhile, Nickelodeon have released a new video of Zayn and Louis playing a prank on thei pals Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson and Liam Payne.

In it the lads hired an actress to play a heavily pregnant  producer, who apparently went into labour
during their interview.

As she screamed in pain, poor Harry looked particularly disturbed and asked ‘why is no one here?’, while Louis arranged some pillows on the floor and went to call his mum who is a qualified nurse.

Harry screamed:
‘Can somebody help us!’

Liam later got her phone and called her supposed husband and got more and more worried when he kept getting disconnected.

At the end of the clip, the lady in question tells the lads that they were ‘pranked by Nickelodeon’ and Styles was visibly shocked, having been completely taken in by the story….we’re not sure Niall fell for it though.
