Rebecca Ferguson: I never farted in front of Zayn Malik

Rebecca Ferguson never farted in front of Zayn Malik when she dated him.
The 31-year-old singer has a self-imposed rule that she never breaks wind in front of her lovers, although she admits holding it in during the first few dates can lead to a painful stomach, and she often wants the guy to leave so she can "get a little bit loose".
During Thursday’s (26.10.17) episode of UK TV show ‘Loose Women’, the brunette beauty – who was appearing as a guest panelist – was part of a discussion about whether it’s possible to be too comfortable with a partner, before the chat turned to flatulence.
Rebecca said: "It’s early days with me and my boy at the minute, but I’m kind of … No, I don’t, ever. But, what I do think is when you get to the stage where you’ve – we’ve all been there – the first couple of dates where your belly is absolutely killing you and you just want them to go, because you’re like … that’s when you need to go ‘Look love, I like you a lot but it’s time for things to get a little bit loose.’ "
And the ‘Nothing’s Real But Love’ singer was then asked specifically about her relationship with former One Direction star Zayn – whom she dated for four months in 2011 – and she was adamant she "definitely didn’t" fart when he was around.
She said: "I definitely didn’t, with that particular partner. I didn’t, no."
Although she may not have broken wind in front of the ‘Pillowtalk’ hitmaker – who is now in a long-term relationship with Gigi Hadid – Rebecca previously claimed she paid for almost all the dates they went on during their time together, as Zayn was still a teenager and had very little cash at the time.
During a separate appearance on ‘Loose Women’ in August this year, Rebecca said of Zayn whilst discussing whether you should quiz a guy about his earnings on a first date: "We were young so I would pay the bills quite a lot, yeah. I paid out a lot and people were quite surprised by that."
