Liam Payne's girlfriend Kate Cassidy has shared a poignant message on social media eight months after his death. She posted several photos of the former One Direction member, expressing her deep sorrow and the belief that she had "so much more time and life left to share" with him.
The pair sparked romance rumours for the first time in October 2022, just two years before his passing in October 2024. In a heartfelt Instagram post, Kate wrote: "8 months ago today, I lost my best friend and someone I thought I had so much more time and life left to share with."

She continued: "Liam was the kind of person you'd start missing the moment you walked out the door. Even when leaving the house for a few hours, I'd find myself rushing home to be with him again out of excitement. Now facing the reality that I live in a constant state of missing you is something I still can't fully wrap my head around.
"Knowing I can't just come home and see you, hear your voice, or feel your hug, it's a type of pain I can't fully put into words. I can't seem to tell if life is flying by without you or moving so slow none of it fully makes sense.
"But I am trying to live my life as best I can for now and live it for you. I miss you more than words can say. One day, I'll see you again, and I'll have so much to tell you. So much to catch up on. I love you my angel. 444"

Rod Stewart shares eye-watering Glastonbury cost he will need to pay out of his own pocket
The Maggie May rocker, 80, is set to perform at the Legends slot act in Glastonbury 2025, joining a star-studded line-up of other acts. Sir Rod Stewart has revealed how much he will pocket following his highly-anticipated slot at Glastonbury festival later this year. However, despite bosses dishing out a substantial sum he's left with a sore bill. He has been touring across the US, meaning it's going to cost a hefty sum to transport his crew, staging and equipment back for the festival, set to take place at the end of this month. The rock legend, 80, will return to one of the biggest musical festivals in Somerset for the first time in over two decades. Rod last performed on the Pyramid stage 23 years ago. Maggie May rocker Rod will be joined by a stellar line-up of acts as he performs as this year's Legends slot. He has opened up on his Glastonbury comeback in a new interview. Rod claimed he would receive £120,000 from festival bosses but it will set him back £300,000 to take to the stage early in the evening on Sunday, June 29. Speaking to the Radio Times, Sir Rod said: "It was about eight months ago when I was asked to do it, maybe a little longer. But it didn't fit with my schedule because I've got to bring everybody back from America. "It's going to cost me £300,000 to do it and they only pay you about 120,000 quid. So it's going to cost me." However the hefty cost didn't appear to phase the Celtic-daft rocker, who was adamant it "doesn't matter" if he ends up out of pocket for the prized slot. It comes as he revealed that he will only play for one hour and 15 minutes. Rod claims he "begged" festival bosses for an extra 15 minutes as he usually performs for two hours, however his request was denied. Other Glastonbury headliners for the highly-anticipated 2025 show include The 1975, Neil Young, Olivia Rodrigo, Charli XCX, Doechii, The Prodigy and Alanis Morissette. Sir Rod was recently forced to cancel six more shows from his US tour after coming down with the flu. Announcing the news on Instagram last week, the hitmaker said that he would be cancelling four US tour dates and rescheduling two others. He wrote: "So sorry my friends. I'm devastated and sincerely apologise for any inconvenience to my fans. I'll be back on stage and will see you soon," alongside a heartbroken emoji. The multiple cancellations come after he was put on vocal rest between performances last month. Sir Rod has said he is planning to stop large-scale world tours at the end of this year.

This Brand Quietly Took Over My Summer Wardrobe - And Now There's 40% Off
Denim in this heatwave might not be your first thought but, and stick with me here, there's logic to the madness. When Aligne announces its extremely sought-after summer sale - and it includes up to 40% off its cult denim pieces - it's far better to ponder the logistics of wearing denim in June once you've added it to your basket. Or, (and this may be the more brutal truth) it might be time to gently remind you that this mini heatwave is (most likely) our British summer and it'll be back to a denim jacket and jeans by next week. In just five years, Aligne has carved itself quite a niche when it comes to wardrobe essentials, and the London-born brand has become a dependable (and somewhat under-the-radar) name in conscious fashion. Its Daphne Blazer remains firmly in the social media hall of fame, a viral style that cemented Aligne's tailoring credentials. Meanwhile, its outerwear earned celebrity fans like Katie Holmes, who was spotted wearing the chartreuse Stella Coat last year. But, beyond tailoring, it's Aligne's denim that really stands out as an everyday favourite - particularly when there are hefty discounts involved. ©Instagram/@savannahgowarty 1. Moto Collarless Denim Jacket Aligne's denim jacket is one of the best on the high street - even without its massive discount. A style that will stand the test of the seasons (its collarless design means it can be paired with both midi dresses and jeans), as well as the test of time. I've scrolled through Aligne's summer sale to find the standout pieces worth investing in, and, while there's plenty of temptation across all categories, it's, of course, the denim section that deserves highlighting. The Collarless Denim Jacket, for example, is a cooler take on its collared cousin, which means it can be thrown on over a floral midi dress or buttoned up with a mini skirt. Plus, the jacket is thicker than a cardigan but thinner than a puffer or wool coat, so it's the sort of jacket you'll be able to wear when the nights start to feel oddly cooler again. 2. Luella Mini Denim Dress As well as Aligne's denim jacket offerings, the brand has some cool denim dresses, too. This style in particular is a good one to have in your wardrobe, and with its button-down front, mini length and front patch pockets, it can be worn on its own or layered up. Denim dresses are another way to integrate the fabric into your summer wardrobe - even if (like me) you had previously ruled it out for being too structured or hot. Aligne's Luella Denim Mini Dress puts my previous apprehension to shame with its soft and gently flared structure, preppy front pockets and crew neck - and, it's a dress that can be polished with a simple kitten heel for a last-minute dinner plan. 3. Jate Denim Wrap Waistcoat An easy way to add texture and interest to an outfit without feeling like you're overheating in denim is to invest in a good denim waistcoat - like the Jate style from Aligne. Wear on its own paired with wide-leg trousers and chunky sandals, or with a t-shirt layered underneath. It wouldn't be an Aligne sale without including an excellent waistcoat, and the Jate Denim Wrap Waistcoat is a more relaxed take on the Daphne Blazer, featuring that iconic buttoned front, yet it can be dressed up with a pair of wide leg trousers and kitten heels, or down with a pair of capri pants and colourful Adidas trainers. The Aligne sale doesn't stop there, either. There are plenty of other pieces worth investing in. Shop the best of the Aligne summer sale below. 4. Santino Organic Cotton Maxi Dress If you're on the hunt for a summer dress that will keep you cool as well as keep you looking cool, this Aligne dress is an excellent choice. Finished with black statement buttons, a dropped waist and side seam pockets (!), style the dress with ballet flats and a shoulder bag. 5. ED Cherish Midi Denim Dress This dress is part of Aligne's collection with Elizabeth Day, which was inspired by Cher's wardrobe from the iconic film Clueless . Its Cherish Midi Dress features a fitted waist that falls into a pleated skirt, chest patch pockets and a flattering slim fit. 6. Gabriella Striped Denim Dress The Gabriella dress is a staple for those wanting to inject a bit of fun into a summer wardrobe, without being too over-the-top. The blue striped print, shirt collar and front zip make it perfect for wearing to the office, and then to after-work drinks with a simple change of shoe. 7. Emmet Striped Knitted Polo Polo shirts have done somewhat of a 360 this year as they shed the rugby boy stereotype and entered the wardrobe of fashion people in the know. This Aligne style is most definitely one of the best, with its bright blue and butter yellow colourway and preppy button collar. 8. Leah Linen Mini Dress Inspired by the brand's best-selling Leo waistcoat, the Leah dress features a button-up front, crew neck and adjustable back buckle to give you that cinched waist. Linen is also a non-negotiable in my summer wardrobe, so this dress gives you the best of both worlds and requires minimal styling. 9. Iggy Mini Denim Dress A white dress in the summer is just about as integral as a little black dress in the winter. If you're not sure which white dress style to go for, this Aligne one is both easy and breezy, with lace-up detailing at the neck, a boxy fit and a classic shirt collar. 10. Henry Slim Barrel Jeans A great pair of jeans forms the crux of most of our wardrobes, and there's no better time to invest in quality denim than when it's on sale. Barrel jeans have had quite the year, and there's no sign of the trend slowing down, so if you're looking to dip your toe in the trend, try this pair, with a slim fit and subtle barrel style.
