LOUIS Tomlinson’s sisters have unfollowed Zayn Malik online after he punched their brother in the face during a vicious row.
The clash came as the former friends filmed a three-part road trip for Netflix.
Now, his sisters Phoebe and Lottie have unfollowed Zayn online – but still follow the other One Direction boys Harry Styles and Niall Horan.
In an interview with Livelaughlukepod hosted by @lukehamnett, Phoebe and her twin sister Daisy didn’t hold back on who their favourite One Direction member was.
They twins revealed: “Niall was always the loveliest. And even when we were little, he was just very nice and caring and always cute with us.
“Liam’s not with us anymore, but he was always that for me. Yeah, so calm. He was so sweet.
“He would always say hi and he’d remember your name and stuff.
“Whereas the others, not obviously mentioning names, didn’t really even know who you were or remember your name.
“Liam always took time and came and said hi to our grandparents and little things like that.”
Netflix has since axed the multi-million-pound project which had aimed to show Zayn and Louis bonding over shared memories of pop stardom.
A source said: “Louis was stunned and in shock. Zayn was wearing rings so it cut his head. It happened outside in front of so many people.”
Sources told The Sun their astonishing on-set row was triggered by Zayn’s remark about Louis’ mum Johannah Deakin, who died of leukaemia in 2016.
A source revealed: “The lads were filming on location. Zayn started acting up and was mouthing off.
“It spiralled into a row then Zayn made a remark about Louis’ mum Johannah.
“Louis was stunned and in shock. As he went to move, Zayn then attacked him.
“Zayn punched him straight in the face.
“Because he was wearing rings it cut Louis’ head.
“He was pulled away and Louis was taken for medical treatment. He was left with a concussion. This happened outside in front of so many people. It was shocking.”
The Sun understands Louis and Zayn – who last night shared a picture of himself in hospital with a mystery illness – have not spoken since the incident six months ago.
It is understood Netflix finally decided to cancel the three-parter last month, after hopes of the pair reconciling dwindled.
We told last October how Louis, 34, and Zayn had signed for the show and to be filmed discussing their lives and experiences of pop stardom.
It was hoped they might even open up about the tragic death of bandmate Liam Payne, 31, in a hotel balcony fall in Argentina in October 2024.
The bust-up between Louis and Zayn happened when filming reached Wyoming.
Insiders said that after receiving medical treatment, Louis left for the UK, while Zayn returned to his farm in Pennsylvania.
A source said: “What clearly hurt Louis the most was Zayn’s comment about his mother.
“Zayn knew how much Johannah means to Louis and his family.
“It made Louis so upset, it was clear there was no way he would ever return to filming with Zayn.”
“The decision was taken to axe the series.”
A source added: “Netflix had thought they’d hit the jackpot when Louis and Zayn agreed to film together.
“It was a big budget show, it cost millions to make.”
Neither Louis nor Zayn have ever spoken about the documentary or why it ended.
One Direction sold more than 70million records worldwide at the height of their fame.
