MUSIC fans will be left scratching their heads when they see this video of a completely unrecognisable popstar. The singer's mum shared the clip on social media but seemed more tickled by his "northern accent" than his appearance.

She captioned the footage: "His accent is sooo northern. Haha!" The video was posted on Instagram by none other than Zayn Malik's mum - and it is the ex One Direction star.

Zayn had dressed up as his 'sexy secretary' alter-ego Veronica for the pop band's 2013 hit Best Song Ever. In the backstage footage shared by his proud mum Trisha, Zayn is having his tattoos airbrushed over by a make-up artist.
