Louis Tomlinson’s sisters unfollow Zayn Malik 'after he punched star in face during Netflix show bust-up'

Louis Tomlinson’s sisters have unfollowed Zayn Malik online after he reportedly punched their brother in the face during a row.

The clash came as the former One Direction bandmates filmed a three-part road trip for Netflix, the Sun reported.

Netflix has since axed the multi-million-pound project which streaming bosses had hoped would show them bonding over shared memories of pop fame.

Sources told The Sun their shocking bust-up was triggered by Zayn making a remark about Louis’ mum Johannah Deakin, who died of leukaemia in 2016.

Two of Louis' five sisters, Phoebe and Lottie, have since unfollowed Zayn on Instagram.

A source told the paper: “The lads were filming on location. Zayn started acting up and was mouthing off.

"Louis was stunned and in shock. As he went to move, Zayn then attacked him.

“It spiralled into a row then Zayn made a remark about Louis’ mum Johannah.

“Zayn punched him straight in the face.

“Because he was wearing rings it cut Louis’ head."

Zayn was pulled away and Louis, who was left with a concussion, was taken for medical treatment.

It is understood the former friends have not spoken since the incident six months ago.

Louis and Zayn are yet to comment on the alleged incident or why the documentary ended.
