Argh, So Cringe! Zayn Malik Just Accepted An Award He Didn’t Actually Win

Oh dear. We’re cringing hard for poor Zayn Malik this morning. Fans may have noticed that on Sunday the Pillowtalk singer took to Twitter, along with his girlfriend Gigi Hadid, to say a heartfelt thanks for his Best Music Video gong at the iHeartRadio awards.

Speaking to his 2.1 million followers, Zayn thanked his followers for their support and revealed that a “little birdie” had told him he’d won.

That’s super cute ‘n’ all, but as it turns out, Zayn didn’t win the Best Music Video award at all; Fifth Harmony did.

The girl group picked up the gong for their hit Work From Home featuring Ty Dolla $ign.

Congrats #Harmonizers. You helped @fifthharmony win #BestFanArmy, #BestCover and #BestMusicVideo at our #iHeartAwards! pic.twitter.com/dNYXQxU2UX
