Malik is competing against his former bandmates – Harry Styles, Liam Payne, Niall Horan and Louis Tomlinson – in the Fashion Choice Male Hottie category. (One Direction is also nominated in Choice Music Group: Male and Choice Song: Group.)
This marks the first awards show where Malik and One Direction are up for the same award.
