Shirtless Zayn Malik shows off his heavily-inked torso

He raised some eyebrows when he was spotted smoking a suspicious looking cigarette earlier this week – with fans urging him to quit the habit.

But Zayn Malik was once again seen indulging in the vice as he hung out at his rented mansion in Miami, Florida, on Sunday, where he appeared to be working on some new songs alongside a male companion and enjoying some down-time.

The 25-year-old singer looked in his element as he reclined on a sun lounger and basked in the rays.

Despite relaxing by a grand swimming pool, the Pillowtalk hitmaker shunned swimwear in favour of simple cargo shorts, showing a peek of his Calvin Klein boxers. 

The former One Direction appeared to be revelling in his tranquil surroundings as he listened to music on his phone, before dosing off.   

And it seemed Zayn’s idle day was hungry work as the pop star was spotted tucking into a sandwich and a glass of orange juice.

The British chart-topper also seemed to take some inspiration from his blissful surroundings as he sang some songs as his friend sat adjacent to him and strummed on his guitar.  

Zayn recently came under fire from his social media followers after he uploaded a video of himself smoking while covering I Can’t Make You Love Me by Bonnie Raitt.

Zayn was seen taking a drag on the cigarette before playing the song in a heavily filtered video.
