Zayn Malik says the best perk of being famous is getting to stay in nice hotel rooms

The One Direction singer doesn't care about all the other free stuff the band gets, as long as he has a massive, comfortable bed at the end of the night.

He told The Sun newspaper: "I'm not bothered about what we get before or after shows as long as our room is comfortable. If I can sleep well, then everything is going to be OK.

"To me, after any day, I just want the biggest, most comfortable bed in our hotel.

"It is one of the best things about being in the band - getting nice hotel rooms."

He recently said he treats his girlfriend "like a princess".

Zayn is dating girl band Little Mix star Perrie Edwards, and despite their busy schedules keeping them both apart for long periods of time, he goes to great lengths to display his love for her.

She said: "As long as we can talk as much as possible, we cope fine with being apart. The girls always say he's so good to me. I like to be treated like a princess and I love thoughtful gifts. When I was on holiday I got him a painting and filmed the artist making it. He loved it."
