ZAYN Malik has been thrown off Tinder because women thought he was a chancer using the singer’s pictures.
The heart-throb, 31, said he was suspended after potential dates refused to believe it was genuinely him on the match-making app.
Zayn, whose hits with One Direction included What Makes You Beautiful, explained: “It’s not been too successful for me, I’ll be honest. Everyone accused me of catfishing.
“They’re like, ‘What are you using Zayn Malik’s pictures for?’
"I’ve been kicked off once or twice.”

Fellow singer Lewis Capaldi, 27, previously revealed he suffered a similar fate on Tinder.
And a new survey of 8,000 young singles, conducted by Tinder, has found that 53% of men and 68% of women want to be in a romantic relationship.
Zayn went on: “I’m really content and happy with being single for the first time in my life.”
He recalled how young he was when planning to marry Little Mix’s Perrie Edwards before having a relationship with model Gigi Hadid — mum to his three-year-old daughter Khai.
Zayn, whose album Room Under the Stairs is out tomorrow, told Nylon magazine: “From 17 to 21, I was in a relationship.
"I was engaged and [planned to get] married and I didn’t know anything about anything at that point.
“I thought I did, because I was 21. I was legally allowed to do everything, but I didn’t know s***.
“From 21 to 27, I was with Gi, and we had a kid, and I didn’t really take much time to get to know myself.”
