Zayn Malik's sister, Doniya Malik, has given her first ever interview. 

She spoke to the BBC Asian Network about Zayn and his partner, Perrie Edwards. 

While talking about Perrie becoming her sister-in-law, Doniya said: "It's pretty cool. Perrie's a really nice girl, she's really friendly, very easy to get on with, down-to-earth, so I'd say just how it is with my sisters."

Awww!

She spoke about what life was like growing up with the ex-One Direction member: "Because me and Zayn are very close in age, we've grown up together. Actually he bosses me around, he acts like a big protective brother which is quite nice at times."

"He was quite spoilt growing up, but I'd say I was actually more spoilt than Zayn because I was the first grand child," she added.

She described Zayn's X Factor experience as "surreal" and "weird" and went on to admit that Liam is her favourite One Direction member (apart from Zayn when he was there of course).

Zayn left One Direction earlier this year and is set to marry Perrie during the summer.
