Gigi Hadid reportedly wants Zayn Malik back in the band.

Although Malik left One Direction over a year ago, his model girlfriend feels his position with the group was better for his mental health.

“Gigi is urging Zayn to get back together with One Direction for his health. Zayn has always suffered from anxiety and since he has gone solo, it has only gotten worse. Publicly Gigi has been very supportive of Zayn’s troubles and privately she has been advising him to seek refuge with the guys in One Direction. She knows they have had their ups and downs over the years, but Zayn was always able to perform with his mates around him,” a source told Hollywood Life on Monday.

“Zayn can’t get it together on his own, he is more comfortable in the group," the source continued. "He is great in the studio alone but performing for large crowds is too much for his anxiety. Gigi’s advice has been for Zayn to get back together with the guys, do some touring and once he feels better, venture off on his own career again."

Malik went pubic with his anxiety struggles over the weekend after canceling a concert in the UK.

“To all those people who have been waiting to see me perform at the Capital Summertime Ball today.. I flew into the UK last night to appear in my home country in front of my family, friends, and most importantly my UK fans. Unfortunately, my anxiety that has haunted me throughout the last few months around live performances has gotten the better of me,” Malik wrote to fans on Twitter on Saturday.

“With the magnitude of the event, I have suffered the worst anxiety of my career,” he continued. “I cannot apologise enough but I want to be honest with everyone who has patiently waited to see me, I promise I will do my best to make this up to everybody I’ve let down today. I know those who suffer anxiety will understand and I hope those who don’t can empathise with my situation.”
