Selena Gomez has expressed her admiration for Zayn Malik after he started following her on Twitter.

The US pop star has admitted that she ‘loves’ the former One Direction singer and has urged him to ‘reach out’ to her.

Speaking on Manchester’s Key 103 FM, Gomez said: “I know Zayn, so it's almost like if he would ever want to reach out, he knows that he could.

"I think that's so exciting for him to go and figure out what he wants to do, but I don't know what that is.”

Gushing about the British star, she continued: “I think it'll be pretty exciting but, yes, I love him, he's awesome.”

The former X Factor contestant went on to brand the producer a ‘d***head’.
