Teacher had affair with girl who thought he looked like Zayn
Quote:
teaching assistant accused of having a fling with a 15-year-old schoolgirl 'was pursued by the pupil because he looked like Zayn Malik,' a court heard.
Hamid Bhatti, 24, was the subject of attention from girls as he resembled the ex-One Direction band member, Taunton Crown Court was told.
Bhatti was on a placement at a school in Yeovil, Somerset, when he met the girl, who cannot be identified for legal reasons.
He told the court he had been pursued by the pupil who told him: 'I think you're lush, I'm going to marry you and have your babies,' according to Somerset Live.
He added: 'It was mostly (this girl) and her friends, but I was quite young and of Pakistani descent. They said I looked like Zayn Malik.'
