Jamie Searles had been booked to perform alongside lookalikes of Zayn's bandmates - Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson, Liam Payne and Niall Horan - at a number of gigs at British seaside resorts over the coming months but has now been left without a place in the group after the real Zayn announced he was quitting.

Taking to his Twitter account, Jamie joked: ''I'm off to the job centre.''

The Irish star - who previously appeared on the dating show 'Take Me Out' - will now have to focus on his solo and modelling careers.
