Zayn currently has odds stacked against his return to the group, sitting at 5/4.

Despite this news about Zayn, the bookies also have some promising odds on One Direction releasing a new album this year.

At the time of writing, the chances of a sixth One Direction album being released have increased to 4/5.

Even more exciting is that the band’s odds on taking to the stage next year for Glastonbury have also been slashed.
