Former One Direction member Zayn Malik and his fiancee Perrie Edwards have reportedly spent a whopping three million pounds on a six-bedroom love nest just outside London.

"This is a big statement by Perrie and Zayn. They've had to shoot down rumours of a split after his exit from the band and this is both of them showing everyone just how serious they are," a source told The Sun newspaper.

"They're engaged and need somewhere they can both call home - and this house is it."

The luxurious property is split into two wings and also features a three-bedroom guest cottage, reports mirror.co.uk.

The source added: "It's got everything they need and gives them a safe haven to base themselves when they're both in London and Perrie isn't away on tour.

"Zayn has a bit more time on his hands than he used to, so this is a good place to be for him to hang out with mates or just spend some time alone."

A representative for Malik declined to comment.
