Zayn Malik will go head-to-head with his former One Direction bandmates after he was nominated in the same category as the group in the first wave of Teen Choice Awards.
Malik quit the British boyband in March to become a "normal" 22-year-old, but he has still been shortlisted for the Choice Male Hottie category against One Direction.
The category is completed by Aussie boys 5 Seconds of Summer, Ryan Guzman, Justin Bieber and Austin Mahone.
In the music sections, Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande and Australian rapper Iggy Azalea each earned three nominations, including Choice Female Artist, which also features mentions for Selena Gomez, Demi Lovato and Rihanna.
Nominees for Choice Male Artist include Ed Sheeran, Nick Jonas, Sam Smith, Shawn Mendes, Jason DeRulo and Pitbull, while groups Fifth Harmony, One Direction and 5 Seconds of Summer land three nominations each.
