The One Direction star was spotted outside his hotel puffing away before heading to the airport
Liam Payne made the most of his short walk to his waiting car as he lit up a cigarette as he left his London hotel today.
The One Direction star was spotted leaving the hotel with his bandmate Niall Horan, 21, wearing a long grey coat and a pair of black skinny jeans and short black boots.
The Night Changes hitmakers Niall and Liam were seen travelling together - which is big news these days after they sparked rumours of a fallout with their separate cars.
Niall has tweeted about his excitement about returning to New York earlier today, before their appearance on NBC’s Saturday Night Live this weekend, as super-fan Amy Adams prepares to host.
"New York at Christmas, can't beat it ! This is gona be a fun weekend ! nbcsnl is always a great time!" he tweeted.
