Malik’s ‘insecurities’

Zayn Malik has told of his constant struggle with self-doubt as he spoke about leaving One Direction and his relationship with model Gigi Hadid.

The Pillowtalk singer admitted he is “still taking it all in” as his life has changed so much in the past year, and revealed insecurities about leaving the band.

Speaking of his decision to quit 1D, he told Elle UK: “At that time in my life I felt I had done everything I could do there and I just needed to change it up. It didn’t feel brave. I just don’t have it in me to feel fully secure in anything I do.” Bacteria hidden up people’s noses produces an antibiotic which could herald a new age in the fight against superbugs.

The new drug, lugdunin, is made naturally by Staphylococcus lugdunensis, a microbe which beds alongside people’s nasal hair.

Just under one third of people carry the bacteria Staphylococcus aureus in their noses, which can cause fatal infection if it enters the blood stream and lead to superbug strain methicillin-resistant S aureus (MRSA).

Nine per cent of people naturally carry S lugdunensis in their noses and were six times less likely to have S aureus than those without it, nasal swabs from 187 hospital patients showed.
