Emily, do you remember when One Direction called it a day?

I think you'll find there are still many people who can't talk about it.

Well luckily, we can. A lot.

Because our new season of terribly famous is all about the first One Directioner to go it alone.

Zayn Malik.

We'll take you on Zayn's journey from Shylad from Bradford

to being in the world's biggest boy band and explore why.

When he reached the top, he decided to walk away.

Follow terribly famous wherever you get your podcasts.

Hey Chris, how's it going, my friend?

Very good, Sean. Thanks for having me on after all this time.

Oh, you are welcome. Can you just tell the viewers a little bit about you first?

Yeah, sure. My name is Chris Atkins.

I'm a documentary filmmaker and author.

And I suppose I hit the headlines because I went to prison about...

Oh, go, is it about seven years ago now?

For the tax fraud, so in 2016, I got a five-year sentence,

served two and a half.

And after I got out, I published a diary about my time inside,

which is called A Bit of a Stretch, which is the best element in 2020.

Yeah, and congratulations on your new book as well.

Yeah, so I've now got a new book coming out called Time After Time.
