Liam Payne’s latest news sends Twitter into COMICAL meltdown
With Zayn penning an autobiography, Harry turning to acting and Niall releasing his first individual single, it was only a matter of time before Liam stepped forward with his post One D plans.
Having just signed a lucrative record deal with American label Republic Records, the 23-year-old singer took to Twitter to announce his excitement.
But as Liam celebrated the launch of his solo career, his fans started celebrating something else altogether.
Last night, the X Factor star became a trending topic on Twitter after writing: “Amazing to have signed to @RepublicRecords I am celebrating as I tweet thank you so much for accepting me to your roster of amazing artists.”

Initially fans started the hashtag “CongratsLiam” in response to the news, but as the tag gained momentum those who were a little late to the conversation thought followers were celebrating the confirmation of rumours that Liam is about to become a dad – something which has never been clarified by the star or his partner, Cheryl.
The situation quickly generated Twitter gold as users eventually figured out that “Chiam” had not shared any baby news *sadface*.
OMG. YES OMG. IF THIS IS TRUE I'M GONNA CRY. I HOPE SHE IS CAUSE I'D LOVE A LITTLE PAYNO. #CongratsLiam pic.twitter.com/Y5K2fa6Cur
