One Direction get weird gifts from fans One Direction love their passionate fans but have admitted that they occasionally receive strange gifts in the post. Speaking on the red carpet at Tuesday night's Brit Awards, Liam Payne said that one fan asked: "Can I lick your face?" Zayn Malik, meanwhile, had a particularly strange experience. He was sent a mankini like the one worn by Sacha Baron Cohen in his Borat film. Zayn said: "I got sent a Borat mankini once. That is a bit weird. I wore it around the house while I was doing a spot of cleaning. It was very comfortable.
