This whole Zayn Malik/Carlyn Bryan thing is so much of a mystery that we\'re pretty sure Scooby Doo should be getting involved soon.

First of all she was the blonde who NO ONE could identify, before everyone realised that we know almost nothing about her except her name, and the rumour mill has been in complete overdrive ever since.

Now there\'s all kinds of speculation suggesting that Zayn could actually have known Carlyn for over a year (aka while he was still engaged to Perrie Edwards), and even a photo that appears to proves it. Gulp.

New magazine have managed to track down a snap which seems to be of a long-haired Zayn and a blonde who\'s 99.9% definitely Carlyn, sitting in a car together waaay back in September LAST year. So technically, that probably means they\'ve been at least friends for quite some time now, doesn\'t it?

September happens to be around the time that Zerrie were still looking very loved up, wandering around New Orleans hand in hand, making wedding plans and double dating on a boat with Elounor. Those were the days.

Unfortunately, we\'ve spent all our funds on chocolate biscuits and can\'t afford said shocker of a photo to include in this article, but can we interest you in a load of quotes from an insider about their \'relationship\'? Oh go on then.

"Carlyn is super sweet," a source told New. "And hot. She\'s from a nice family. She wants to keep a low profile but she\'s as good as gold, so there\'s no dirt to pull out about her."

Like a soup that you\'ve left out on the side instead of putting it back in the fridge, THE PLOT THICKENS and smells a bit odd.

What do you think about this revelation that Zayn and Carlyn have known each other for ages? Let us know with a tweet to @Sugarscape.
