A girl who Zayn Malik is alleged to have cheated on his fiancee with is set to appear on 'Love Island'.
Lauren Richardson - who was pictured holding hands with the One Direction heartthrob while on holiday in Thailand - is reportedly in talks to spill the beans on exactly what happened between them on the revamped ITV2 show.
A source shared: "Lauren sees 'Love Island' as a great opportunity for people to see the real her. She has kept a low profile since the stories ran about her and Zayn, and there a lot of untruths that she wants corrected."
Lauren was bombarded with messages from angry 1D fans when it was claimed Zayn - who has since quit the band - had cheated on his Little Mix star fiance Perrie Edwards with her.
And she's now said to be keen to set the record straight and perhaps fall in love with the man of her dreams in the process.
The insider told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "She never asked for the attention but now wants something positive to come from the situation.
"She is looking forward to getting to Majorca and, hopefully, finding love in the process."
Lauren is just one of a number of girls who are said to have slept with Zayn while he was still on tour with bandmates Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson, Liam Payne and Niall Horan.
And when the photographs of the pair of them emerged online, Zayn took to Twitter to defend himself.
He wrote: "I love a girl named Perrie Edwards. And there's a lot of jealous f**ks in this world I'm sorry for what it looks like x (sic)."
Meanwhile, 'Love Island' presenter Caroline Flack - who previously dated Zayn's former bandmate Harry - has admitted she refused to host the show whilst wearing a bikini.
Speaking on an episode of 'Alan Carr: Chatty Man' - which airs on Channel 4 tonight (29.05.15) - she said: "They wanted me to wear a bikini for the show and I was like, 'No'. That would be weird."
However, the 35-year-old star did reveal viewers will get to see all the bedroom action that takes place in the reality show villa.
She added: "It would be silly of us not to show the hanky panky bits. We are going to show all the things that go on."
'Love Island' kicks off on ITV2 next month.

YouTube blogger Zoella is in talks to present 'The Xtra Factor'.
Simon Cowell has reportedly met with the internet sensation - who has a massive online following of eight million subscribers - as part of his planned shake up of 'The X Factor' and it's ITV2 spin-off show.
A source shared: "There is serious interest in Zoella and Simon is keen to hear how she developed such a huge online following with young people."
The 55-year-old music mogul is said to be hopeful that if Zoella, 25 - whose real name is Zoe Sugg - joins the show, her fans will help boost dwindling ratings.
The insider told The Sun newspaper: "Simon wants ideas that are different and is really thinking outside the box when it comes to shaking up the show."
The 'Xtra Factor' presenting job became available when radio DJ Sarah Jane Crawford announced she'd quit after just one series earlier this month.
And Zoella is already said to have filmed a demo after she was spotted shooting what appeared to be a segment from the show in central London.

William Roache has described the late Anne Kirkbride as a "love bomb".
The 'Coronation Street' actor - who is set to read a poem at a memorial service for his former on-screen wife tomorrow (30.05.15) - has revealed his nickname for the late actress, who lost her battle with cancer earlier this year.
Speaking about filming the funeral of Anne's 'Corrie' character Deirdre Barlow - whom she played for over 40 years - William said: "It is a family and doing the funeral that we're doing of Deirdre next week, Annie will be there, we're just feeling her there the whole time ... I know I have never heard a single bad word or criticism about Annie, you couldn't. I used to call her a love bomb because she exploded with love so she was a love bomb. She liked that."
The 83-year-old star - who admits he spent as much time with Anne as he did with his own family - insists there will be laughter as well as tears at the memorial service because that's what she would have wanted.
He told ITV's 'Good Morning Britain': "There was always a laugh waiting from Annie, whatever we were doing. The more serious it was, the more likely there was going to be a laugh and tomorrow at her memorial service there'll be laughter. That's what she wants, she was a fun-loving person, she grabbed life, she loved life."

Jimi Mistry had to wear fireproof underwear when his 'Coronation Street' character was killed off.
Jimi's character Kal Nazir was carried out of Carla Connor's apartment in a body bag in last night's (28.05.15) episode of the ITV soap after finding himself trapped on the balcony during a blazing inferno and the 42-year-old actor has now revealed he had to take special precautions while filming the tear-jerking scenes.
He said: "It wasn't pleasant. You look at it and think it might be camera angles and all that - but it was real.
"It was safe but it was real.
"We had a lot of protective clothing - fireproof underwear!"
The emotional scenes saw Kal save the lives of Amy Barlow - whose mother Tracy Barlow unwittingly started the fire - and his girlfriend Leanne Battersby, who accepted his marriage proposal as she was making her way down a ladder from the balcony just seconds before the explosion that saw him killed.
And despite being an experienced actor, Jimi found the stunts challenging and has confessed the look of fear on his face was very real.
He told The Sun newspaper: "You are dealing with the circumstance of being in that situation. It was a new experience for me - I've never done anything like that.
"We also filmed on three different locations - the street itself and fireproof sets in a warehouse. I was very close to the fire. It was safe but fire is fire - it's as real as it could be.
"There was a lot of smoke and real fire so it was claustrophobic but that added to how it all felt on set."
Jimi also admitted that although it was his decision to quit the soap, he was left stunned when producer Stuart Blackburn told him Kal was being killed off and he even shed a tear when he watched the scenes back.
The former 'EastEnders' actor added: "I didn't know at the beginning. It wasn't something Stuart and I discussed.
"I came into the show to bring some drama and when the idea was pitched to me I thought it was fantastic, dramatic and part of 'Coronation Street' history ... Yeah, I did cry. It's hard watching yourself die like that. It's quite a bad way to die."
Meanwhile, it is yet to be revealed whether Tracy will be found out as Leanne is set to point the finger at Carla while Kal's son will blame her for his father's death.

Aaron Frew "can't believe" his 'Big Brother' "journey" has ended with him being kicked out of the house.
The 24-year-old model was kicked off of the reality show yesterday (28.05.15) for repeatedly exposing himself to fellow housemate Joel Williams but first apologised for his actions as he broke down in the Diary Room chair.
He said: "I'm so sorry. Oh my God. I can't believe it.
"I'm so sorry. I really am. I put my hands up to it, I didn't mean for it to get that far.
"I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry for everyone. I'm sorry for Joel, I'm sorry mate. I'm so sorry for 'Big Brother' for wasting your time. I'm sorry mum. I'm so sorry for everything.
He added: "I'm so sorry. I really am. I put my hands up to it, I didn't mean for it to get that far ... I'm sorry for Joel, I'm sorry mate. I'm so sorry for Big Brother for wasting your time.
"I'm sorry mum. I'm so sorry for everything. I can't believe my journey's ending like this. It meant so much to me. I'm just really sorry."
Earlier in the show Joel had described how he felt violated by Aaron's advances.
He said: "I feel really uncomfortable and to be completely honest I think had it continued it would have ended with me punching him to defend myself.
"Because my personal space was invaded. I'm very comfortable with my sexual orientation as a straight guy and I'm sorry I don't know whether I ran away and was saying stop, whether he touched me then.
"I don't know, but if he did then that was just totally wrong and I want to emphasise that I did nothing at all to entice or welcome that approach. I just feel terribly awkward that I let that get that far.
"I don't want to be known as the person who welcomed on that sort of activity, enticed it in any way shape or form. I thought it was awful, it was unacceptable. I felt my personal space was violated and to be totally honest I didn't know how to react to it.
"It's never happened to me before."
Despite Aaron being removed from the house, tonight's (29.05.15) eviction will go ahead as planned and will see four contestants replaced with four brand new ones, one of whom has been described as a "familiar face".

Mark Wright and Michelle Keegan's plan to have Blue perform at their wedding reportedly fell apart because of Lee Ryan going bankrupt.
The 28-year-old reality TV star and his 27-year-old wife had been in advanced talks with the British boyband for them to perform at their wedding on Sunday (24.05.15), but the ambition collapsed just a week before they tied the knot, with the band telling the celebrity couple they wouldn't be able to appear due to "personal problems".
A source said: "Mark and Michelle love their cheesy music and are massive Blue fans.
"But then the band said they'd regrettably have to pull out. It was just one of those things."
Despite the band's withdrawal coming around the time Lee, 31, filed for bankruptcy, a source close to the group insisted they were always unlikely to have been able to play at the wedding.
An insider told The Sun newspaper: "Their schedule is still very busy.
"They were never looking like they were able to perform."
In April, Blue - which also includes Antony Costa, Duncan James and Simon Webbe - were dropped by their label Sony, but subsequently insisted they would continue to release music independently.

Chris Ramsey says meeting Tom Hanks was "like meeting God".
The 28-year-old comedian claims he rarely finds himself feeling starstruck in the presence of celebrities but that he couldn't help but get excited when he came face to face with the 'Captain Phillips' actor.
He told BANG Showbiz: "I'll tell you the most starstruck I've been. I met Tom Hanks once. I was doing a warm up for 'The Graham Norton Show' and I met Tom Hanks and it was like meeting God. He was amazing. He was charisma on a stick. It was unbelievable, he just lit up every room he was in."
Chris - who often appears on the comedy panel show 'Celebrity Juice' - also confessed he got over-excited when he was told 'This Morning' presenter Phillip Schofield was going to be on an episode of the show.
He explained: "I thought I was going to be starstruck once when Phillip was on but then he wasn't but I would have been absolutely buzzing with Schof because I'd love to meet Phillip Schofield but I haven't met him."
Meanwhile, Chris has teamed up with Swiftcover in a bid to encourage people to celebrate getting out on the road to explore the sights and landmarks of the British Isles.
The funnyman of the moment will be performing a one off exclusive comedy show at the London Transport Museum on July 23rd - visit www.swiftcover.uk/roadtrip to apply for free tickets.

Billi Mucklow says being pregnant has helped her to embrace her curves.
The former 'The Only Way Is Essex' star is expecting her and her footballer fiance Andy Carroll's first child and admits that while she struggled to get used to her changing shape at first, she's learnt to enjoy dressing differently.
She said: "My body changed quite early in my pregnancy - your whole body shape changes and it took me a while to adapt to that, but I've enjoyed the experience of dressing my bump. I'm finally embracing my bumps, lumps and curves."
The 27-year-old beauty also claims that although she misses working out as much as she did before she got pregnant, she doesn't want to rush into losing weight once she's given birth.
Billi explained to new! magazine: "I'm going to give myself some time off first before going hard. The way I see it, I've missed this summer now so I'm going to start for next summer. That means I know I've got a full year to get in shape again."

Isaac Waddington and The Neales are through to the 'Britain's Got Talent' live final.
Singer and pianist Isaac, 15, who Simon Cowell described as "cool" and "relaxed", automatically secured his spot in the final stage of the ITV talent show after receiving the majority of the public vote during the fourth round of the semi-finals tonight (28.05.15).
Despite being Ant and Dec's golden buzzer act, Boyband, a five-piece male dance group, narrowly missed out on a spot in the final on Sunday (31.05.15) after Simon was the only judge to choose them, despite admitting that The Neales made him cry with their rendition of 'Father and Son' earlier on.
Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon and David Walliams all picked The Neales, a father-and-sons singing act, to go through to the final.
David, who had the deciding vote, said: "(Boyband) are absolutely out of this world as dancers, but when something really hits you (in the heart), you've got to go with it, so I'm going with The Neales".
Both acts join magician Jamie Raven, Siberian group UDI, dancers Old Man Grooving, dog trainer Jules O'Dwyer & Matisse, dance troupe Entity Allstars and Welsh choir Cor Glanaethwy, along with two contestants from tomorrow night's semi-final, in the final on Sunday at 7.30pm on ITV.
