Liam Payne's bereaved ex-girlfriend Kate Cassidy reveals poignant reminder of the tragic star after shares of her emotional social media tribute mirror their 'angel number'
The former girlfriend of tragic One Direction star Liam Payne was given another poignant reminder of his passing on Monday.
Payne suffered fatal head injuries after falling from a third floor balcony at the CasaSur hotel in upscale Palermo, Buenos Aires on October 16, 2024.
Seven months on from that fateful day in the Argentine capital, the singer's bereaved girlfriend Kate Cassidy discovered a previous social media tribute to the singer, who was just 31 at the time of his death, had been shared 4,444 times.
Uncannily, it is remarkably similar to the 4:44 figure adopted by Payne and Cassidy as their 'angel number' prior to his sudden death.
Drawing attention to her shares and their likeness to the angel number on Instagram, Cassidy, 26, wrote: 'Hi Liam.'

The mystical figure has several hidden meanings behind it and is considered an angel number in numerology.
Angel numbers are repeating sequences of digits, normally in sets of three or four, and they are believed to hold spiritual guidance.
While 333 symbolises growth and 555 represents change, 444 has its own unique meaning behind it.
In numerology, 444 is a sign that the 'angels are with you' and are 'there to guide you step by step'.
The way the figures are formed means they represent stability and a reassurance that you are not alone.
Numerology expert Sunny Dawn Johnston told Glamour: 'When you see these numbers, know deep within that the angels are speaking to you, guiding and supporting you.
'It's a blessing to be in such direct communication with the divine.'
Cassidy had originally flown with Payne to Buenos Aires while he renewed his visa and watched his former One Direction bandmate Niall Horan's concert in the city on October 4.
However, the late singer stayed on in the Argentinian capital after she flew home on October 14.
He tragically died two days later after falling from his hotel balcony while under the influence of class-A drugs and alcohol.
Following his death, Cassidy added '444' to her emotional tribute to her 'angel' boyfriend and shared a snap of a note whre Payne had written the numbers.
It showed the former One Direction band-member's fascination with 'angel numbers' and 'manifesting'.
Cassidy revealed that she and Payne had been 'manifesting their lives together' - a longing heavily associated with the number she signed off her tribute post with, '444'.
She told her followers that she had been at a 'complete loss' following the tragedy and that 'nothing about the past few days had felt real'.
The American influencer then posted the sequence '444' in the bottom right-hand corner of the tribute next to a red heart emoji.
TJ Higgs revealed the meaning behind the sequence, saying: 'The angel number 444 signifies protection, encouragement, and support from the spiritual realm.
'Seeing this number repeatedly suggest that you are on the right path and that your angels are surrounding you, offering their guidance.'
Cassidy added an explanation of the '444 angel number sequence on her Instagram, saying it 'reminds you that your angels are always there to support you'
She added: 'Many people find comfort in angel numbers during difficult periods, as they can symbolise hope and reassurance. For instance, seeing 444 may remind individuals that they are not alone, and that support is available.
'By interpreting these numbers as messages of love and guidance, individuals may feel a sense of connection to something greater, aiding in their healing process.
'When Liam Payne wrote his note to his girlfriend Kate, with the significance of angel numbers 444, I genuinely believe he was fully aware of the love and support surrounding him.
'He understood that he had people in his life who made him feel, loved cherished, valued, and important.'

Peter Andre supports Liam Payne's girlfriend over 'signs' from the dead
EXCLUSIVE: Liam Payne's girlfriend Kate Cassidy has said she believes the late One Direction star leaves her 'signs' from beyond the grave - and Peter Andre is supporting her Peter Andre is not a stranger to grief. After losing his brother, Andrew, to kidney cancer in 2012, the dad of six is sympathising and relating to the late Liam Payne's girlfriend Kate Cassidy after she said she believes Liam leaves her 'signs'. The One Direction singer died at the age of 31 after falling from a hotel balcony in Buenos Aires, Argentina in October 2024. Kate has taken to social media to share what she considered to be a message from Liam months on from his death. The star shared a screenshot of the 4,444 shares on one of her social media posts, writing alongside it, "Hi Liam," with a white heart emoji. Kate has previously spoken about how 444 was her and Liam's angel number - a pattern of numbers that signifies a message of love and support. Kate wrote in her heartbreaking tribute to Liam at the time of her death that they both believed in that specific angel number. In his exclusive OK! Column, Peter could relate with Kate as he said: 'Some people will find that bonkers, but when I lost my brother, I remember many times when I thought he was sending me signs. It's easy for someone to say, 'That can't be true.'' 'But until you go through a personal experience like that, you ought not judge. If the thought of a sign offers comfort in dark times, why shouldn't people believe? My mum has such strong faith that there's life after death – who are we to challenge that faith and hope?' Pete was left heartbroken when Andrew passed away with his family at his bedside. A spokeswoman said at the time: 'Peter is devastated. He was very, very close to his brother. This is the very first family member Peter has experienced losing. He just needs time to grieve.' Andrew, who was diagnosed with kidney cancer in February 2012, was understood to have been responding well to treatment before his situation worsened in the November. His parents flew to the UK from their home in Australia to be at his bedside with his wife and daughter, as well as singer Peter. A family friend said: 'Everyone was with him when he passed away. They all did everything they could for Andrew and there wasn't one waking minute when he wasn't with somebody.' Peter was preparing for a show in Cardiff as part of his Up Close And Personal tour when he was told Andrew had taken a turn for the worse. He immediately cancelled his remaining tour dates this month so he could be with his brother. He even moved Andrew into his Surrey home so he could receive specialised treatment at the Royal Marsden Hospital in Chelsea, West London. Peter spent every moment possible at the hospital with his brother's wife Magda and the couple's daughter. Andrew frequently appeared in various reality TV shows alongside Peter and offered emotional support when his marriage to glamour model Katie Price broke down in May, 2009. At the time, Katie sent a message of support to her former husband on X. She wrote: 'My thoughts are with the Andre family at this difficult time xx.' Peter previously described his reaction on being told of his brother's illness, saying: 'I was horrified, so shocked, and I broke down. The tears were just rolling down my face and I've cried every day since.'

EXCLUSIVE X Factor's Wagner exposes 'fakery' on controversial talent show: 'Nothing you saw on TV was real'
X Factor star Wagner has claimed that the controversial ITV talent show was 'scripted' and that 'nothing viewers saw was real'. The singer, 69, reached the quarter-finals of the show in 2010 in a season that was won by Matt Cardle and also spawned chart-topping boyband One Direction. In an exclusive interview with MailOnline, Wagner has lifted the lid on went down behind the scenes, confessing he had hardly any contact with his mentor Louis Walsh and insisting producers pulled all the strings. 'The judges are actors', he claimed. 'It was a reality TV show but nothing is real... Everything is planned in advance and my contact with Louis was just the for cameras.' Insisting that the vocal coaches had more of a mentor than the judges, he went on: 'So yeah, I never had much contact with Louis, but I must say he was pleasant every time I met him.' From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the Daily Mail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Wagner continued: 'I don't think the judges even got to choose the songs. I'm sure the producers would pick the songs for us.' He added that the judges' feedback also wasn't genuine, claiming the vocal coaches would give feedback to producers so they could script the televised interactions... 'They [the judges] would look at the camera, but every now and then they would look away and read the script. Some would look more than others!' He mused: 'The show couldn't trust the "judges", everybody became a judge! At first it was that image of Simon Cowell, Louis Walsh and Sharon Osbourne were "experts in music", but then all of a sudden everybody was in and everybody became judges... 'The script was to make sure the entertainment would keep going because they couldn't rely on the judges to be witty or quick thinking.' When wildcard Wagner appeared on the show, critics of The X Factor staged an internet campaign for him to win the show, saying they should vote to keep him in to 'p**s off' Simon Cowell. Yet ultimately, he was was eliminated in sixth place after a unanimous vote by judges in a sing-off against Mary Byrne. At the time, Simon suggested that an internet campaign to 'derail' the show by making him the unlikely winner had failed. 'There were people out there trying to derail this show,' he said after Wagner's exit. 'We've put this show back in the hands of the public.' Discussing the show, Wagner mused: 'It's not democracy, it's showbusiness. 'They knew that they wanted to promote One Direction and everybody else were just extras in the play. 'All I know is that on the day that was sent home a girl from merchandizing said that I was the only one who had sold all my merchandise. 'She said that I was at the top of the votes and One Direction was behind me - and then I was eliminated!' There is no suggestion that the vote was rigged. Wagner also revealed that Louis faked interactions between the pair. In every episode, Louis kept mispronouncing his name, saying it like Wag-nah rather than the correct Vawg-ner. 'It was a joke that Louis agreed with me!' Wagner explained. 'He said "I'm gonna call you Wagner all the time and you're gonna say Louis, my name is Vawg-ner." 'That was fun and it was Louis's idea. It was smart.' Created by Simon in 2004, The X Factor helped to launch the careers of some of the UK's biggest stars, including Little Mix, Olly Mursand Alexanra Burke. But behind closed doors, the ITV show was far from a rosy experience for many of its contestants, with some claiming that bosses convinced them to fake certain moments in a bid to boost ratings. While the series pulled in a record 18 million viewers at its peak, in later years it came under fire for manufacturing results and storylines, and was quietly placed on hiatus in 2018. Despite not winning The X Factor, Wagner still managed to cash in on his fame, selling personalised videos to fans. 'From the videos I would get £100,000 a year,' he revealed. 'I used to make an average of £2,000 a week just on videos. So that was good.' Yet when sales dropped, Wagner ended up trying out a new business, briefly owning a hair transplant clinic in his native Brazil. But it wasn't a role he enjoyed and Wagner ended up returning to the UK where he started his band: Kings With Wings: The Wagner Rock Band - a name he says is inspired by his love of birdwatching. 'I got lots of bookings but I felt so awkward singing She Bangs, because my God, that is a stupid song but people love it,' he explained. 'I sang She Bangs wherever I went. But with the band I'm having my own repertoire. I'm singing great songs, Jumping Jack Flash, The Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix, Bob Marley... 'And there's nothing like singing with musicians instead of singing to backing tracks.'
