Had he not auditioned for The X Factor, he would have liked to do an English Degree at University in the hopes of becoming a teacher.

Confirmed that he and Belle Amie member Geneva Lane are a couple after The X Factor ended in December 2010.

During the bootcamp rounds of "The X Factor" (2004) in 2010, Malik was noted for disappearing during the dance routine as he felt nervous and uncomfortable about dancing in front of people, as he said he "can't dance". Simon Cowell found him sitting backstage and convinced him to participate anyway because if he didn't he'd be ruining the opportunity for himself. Returning to the dance routine proved to be a good move as he was later put into boy band One Direction.
