However, he has now cited a “scheduling conflict” as the reason for cancelling his appearance, which was supposed to coincide with the release of his debut solo single ‘Pillowtalk’.
"Unfortunately there was a scheduling conflict as Zayn is currently in the studio completing his album," a spokesperson for the star told Digital Spy.
A source added to The Sun: "This is a very last-minute decision from Zayn and his team. They have put it down to scheduling issues but this is an appearance that has been in the diary for a while now.
"But it will spark talk of something being wrong behind the scenes. This appearance is a big deal to both Zayn and his fans.”
‘Pillowtalk’ is still due to premiere on Friday, with his album set to follow in early spring.
Meanwhile, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Will Smith and Ryan Reynolds will still be sitting down on Graham’s sofa for a chat.
‘The Graham Norton Show’ airs on Friday at 10.40pm on BBC One.
