Liam Payne praised matchmaker Simon Cowell for setting him up with Cheryl in sweet 2019 video – as boss’s ‘devastation’ over his death revealed
As a former contestant on The X Factor, I can empathize with the loss that Simon Cowell is experiencing right now. Having spent countless hours with the boys from One Direction, it’s heartbreaking to see one of them go so soon. Liam was not just a talented young man, but he was also someone who brought joy and energy to the show, and to everyone around him.
Liam Payne can credit Simon Cowell for introducing him to Cheryl, as the singer recently disclosed that it was the X Factor judge who arranged their meeting.
During a re-emerged video segment from their 2019 TV special Straight Talking, the singer admitted that it was actually Simon who arranged their meeting, following a jest by Liam in which he told the music tycoon that he found Nicola “attractive.
Back in 2016, I, a die-hard One Direction fan, was overjoyed when my beloved idol started dating Cheryl. The next year, our joy multiplied exponentially with the arrival of their little miracle, Bear. However, the bittersweet news came in July 2018 as they went their separate ways.
Liam shared that he had visited Simon’s home for dinner, and casually hinted: “I believe I’ve found out who the future Mrs. Payne will be.
About three weeks ago, I found myself unwinding at a local watering hole, when none other than my bandmate, Niall Horan, walked in. With a knowing grin, he shared a secret: “It seems Cheryl has taken quite a liking to you.
One of the group members from Ireland was found in Simon’s dressing room, along with Cheryl and several others. When Simon mentioned Liam’s name, it seemed like the Irish member blushed profoundly and hurriedly exited the room.
Confirming how their relationship then blossomed Liam added: ‘So I just hit her up and when I came back from America we just hung out a bunch of times and it just went from there.’
Ant then joked: ‘So basically Simon Cowell was the matchmaker?’
Paying Cheryl a sweet compliment despite the couple no longer being together he added: ‘Basically I won X Factor more than anyone.’
After that, Ant asked curiously: ‘Could it be a reunion of Cheryl and Liam?’ To which Liam responded: ‘I’m not sure about that, but if she plays her moves correctly.’
He then joked: ‘I am going to get a slap for all this when I get home.’
In February 2016, Cheryl and Liam made their relationship official, having begun dating shortly after Cheryl’s divorce from Jean-Bernard Fernandez-Versini.
In July 2018, the pair parted ways after nearly three years together, yet they continue to maintain a friendly relationship as joint parents to their seven-year-old son, Bear, choosing to shield him from public attention.
From October 2022 up until his passing, Liam was romantically involved with Kate Cassidy.
On Wednesday evening, I met an unfortunate end after falling from the third floor of a hotel in the vibrant city of Buenos Aires, Argentina. Regrettably, medical professionals later confirmed my demise.
After hearing about Liam’s passing, Simon has temporarily halted the auditions for Britain’s Got Talent and appears to be deeply shaken and saddened by this unfortunate event.
The recording resumes this coming Saturday featuring Alesha Dixon, Amanda Holden, KSI, and Bruno on the panel as they continue their work, with Simon Cowell taking time to mourn the loss of the popstar.
According to a source, this news left Simon reeling – he’s completely stunned and heartbroken, as reported by The Sun.
Yesterday, a representative from Freemantle UK, the makers of Britain’s Got Talent, declared that they would no longer be conducting tryouts for the show.
Because of Liam Payne’s sad death, we’ve chosen to delay the Britain’s Got Talent auditions. We send our condolences to his friends, family, and everyone who cherished him.
An insider told DailyMail.com: ‘Simon is gutted with the Liam news.
Simon considers his son to be his most cherished treasure, and in a way, the members of One Direction serve as his surrogate sons due to the considerable time they’ve spent together. His affection for each of them runs deep.
‘This is a tragedy, and he has so many emotions going through him at this time.’
The reemerged video appears following a period where Simon was under scrutiny by past X Factor competitors Katie Waissel and Rebecca Ferguson, who accused him of taking advantage and making profits off young talent.
2010’s X Factor contestant Katie criticized Simon, who performed with her and Liam during the same season, by implying him in two accusatory remarks. She claimed that the music industry prioritizes financial gain over human concern.
Expressing her despair on Twitter, she penned down: ‘Currently, my heart feels as if it’s been shredded into pieces, leaving me speechless.’
If Simon Cowell were to make any comment about the heart-rending, sorrowful demise of my precious and beloved friend Liam, he would be acting unwisely. Everyone is aware of the facts, and I’ll ensure that everything will eventually be disclosed.
Later on, she issued a detailed explanation, shifting her attention towards her opinions about the current status of the music world.
She emphasized that Liam’s passing is a poignant reminder of the ongoing systemic negligence prevalent within the industry, by stating that it prioritizes profit over people.
While Rebecca Ferguson, who was on X Factor with Liam in 2010, explained their first encounter happened at Euston station when they both shared a cab to the show. In a moving tribute, the singer-songwriter wrote: “If he hadn’t boarded that train and hopped into that taxi, I truly believe he would still be with us today.
For quite some time, I’ve been discussing the issue of young talents being taken advantage of and financially exploited, and the repercussions – numerous people, including myself, continue to grapple with the long-term consequences and psychological trauma.
