A source told The Sun: ‘No one is happy about her marrying him after what he did.

‘He’s a thug, this isn’t in his past — he’s only just got out of prison.’ 

The wedding is thought to have taken place in Bradford, but Zayn and Gigi have been living across the pond in Pennsylvania amid the Covid-19 pandemic.   

Waliyha was all smiles on her special day as she stunned in glamorous golden wedding attire.

Her bridal outfit featured a gorgeous dress embellished with sequins, a delicate veil and statement pieces of gold jewellery.  

She opted for a high-glamour make-up palette and a slick of nude lipstick for her ‘Nikkah’, which is the term used for a Muslim wedding.

Waliyha re-shared the moment she cut her wedding cake with her husband Junaid, which featured their initials in gold icing with a ‘Mr and Mrs’ cake topper. 

The newlywed couple held hands as they cut into the elaborate cake in front of their reception of guests, while Waliyha gazed adoringly at her other half.  

In 2017, Khan and accomplice Adam Takolia reportedly followed a Seat Leon Cupra before confronting a ‘vulnerable’ elderly woman in Skipton.

The court heard at the time that it was a ‘steal to order’ robbery and the woman was victim to a car-jacking on her driveway, after the defendants followed her home.

The victim was driving her son’s sporty-looking car at the time and the judge said it would have looked like it was worth several thousands of pounds.

The pair were understood to be wearing balaclavas at the time and threatened her with a weapon, thought to be a screwdriver, before driving off with the car.

The judge told how the accused held the weapon ‘dagger-style’ across her chest. 

Describing the carjacking as ‘chilling’, Judge Jonathan Durham Hall QC said: ‘You targeted a vulnerable lady on her own.

‘At her home, in her drive alone and you ­carried out your planned expedition with a degree of skill that is chilling. And you have shown no remorse, not one iota.’

The stolen car and a hired vehicle, another Seat Leon which the criminals had been using, were driven off. Parts from the stolen Cupra were later found in Bradford. 

The victim was said to be left distressed and shocked following the ordeal. 

Khan and Takolia were both found guilty of robbery following the trial and were sentenced to five and six years in custody respectively.

MailOnline has contacted Zayn’s representatives for comment. 

Announcing that she had tied the knot, the singer’s sister shared stunning snaps of her in a glamorous fuchsia outfit surrounded by her loved ones.

Safaa, who tied the knot in a traditional Nikkah ceremony, celebrated her pregnancy with a pink-themed baby shower among her friends and family last November.

‘The love I feel for this tiny human is beyond my understanding.

‘Grateful to know her, proud to call her mine, & thankful for the life we will have together.’
