Posting just hours after Building The Band dropped on Netflix, Nicola wrote: '9 months ago today, our lives changed forever.
'I still find it incredibly hard to process what happened.
'I'm not sure I ever fully will, or even want to.
'Liam, you are the most incredible person. For those of us lucky enough to know and love you, our lives were truly blessed.
'Today, the world gets to see just a glimpse of your passion and talent and wow, you are amazing in this show.'
She continued: 'You cared so deeply about the people around you. You wanted to make a difference, and you are lighting up that stage like you were born to do.
'You were made to be a judge, to guide, to encourage, and to let your voice be heard. Watching you in this show, I've never been more proud.
'I just wish you got to see it. It's everything we knew it would be when we were at filming.'
Nicola revealed how emotional the project had become, writing: 'This show will forever hold a special place in my heart because it's one of the last times I saw you, and I got to witness you shine so bloody brightly, but it's also allowed me to still feel close to you.
"I love you so much, and I miss you even more. I hate that this happened.'
Liam Payne's sister calls star 'her angel' in emotional tribute saying 'we will make sure Bear knows about his daddy'
The Netflix series was filmed before Liam's sudden passing and dropped on the platform on July 9.
It sees Backstreet Boys star AJ McLean host the competition alongside lead mentor Nicole Scherzinger, with Kelly Rowland and Liam joining as guest judges.
Fans were left in tears just five minutes into the first episode after the show aired a moving tribute to Liam.
AJ McLean opened the series with a powerful message:
'When we came together to film Building The Band, we never imagined we'd soon be saying goodbye to our friend Liam Payne.'
The screen then faded to a montage of clips and images of the singer, with AJ continuing: 'Liam is a guest judge in later episodes, and through his presence, we see his deep love for music and his unwavering commitment to helping others find their voice. I
"It's through that spirit that we dedicate this series to Liam and his family.'
It comes hours after Liam's girlfriend Kate Cassidy broke down in an emotional video as she sent a heartfelt message to the late star.
She poured her heart out on TikTok and admitted she worried Liam wouldn't recognise her if they met again in the afterlife.
'Today marks nine months since Liam has left this world,' she said in the video.
'I don't know if this is just a message for myself, or for Liam, or for anybody that's navigating through grief that needs to hear this.'
Fighting back sobs, Kate told followers she had recently cut her hair, got new tattoos, and pierced her ears.
She added: 'Liam's never seen me with hair this short. He's never seen me with all these tattoos.
'And then I start thinking deeper into it… I don't know how heaven works, but is Liam going to look the same way that he looked the last time I saw him?'
Kate - who dated Liam for two years and lived with him - said one day, when she's old, Liam might not recognise her.
'When my time comes, will Liam recognise me? I'm going to have wrinkles, white hair, bony hands… how will he find me?'
The heartbreaking thought left her in tears, but she recalled a comforting moment with a friend who reassured her: 'Of course he's going to recognise you… he's going to be so glad you lived.'

Netflix quietly adds 8 episodes of wild thriller – and fans are devouring it

An 'outrageous' new thriller has quietly been added to Netflix, with fans branding it the 'most insane show' of the year. The Hunting Wives premiered on the platform today, and is based on the bestselling novel of the same name by May Cobb. The eight-part series follows Brittany Snow as Sophie, a woman who moves from Boston to East Texas with her family, where she grows a little too close to a mysterious socialite and her group of wealthy friends. However, things take a turn when a dead body is discovered and the newcomer is warned that she has 'no idea what these people are capable of'. Malin Åkerman, Dermot Mulroney, Chrissy Metz and Katie Lowes also make up the star-studded cast. Wake up to find news on your TV shows in your inbox every morning with Metro's TV Newsletter. Sign up to our newsletter and then select your show in the link we'll send you so we can get TV news tailored to you. Despite only being out a matter of hours, fans and critics have flocked to social media to rave about the latest addition to Netflix's slate. Journalist David Opie tweeted: '#TheHuntingWives is the rare kind of trash that knows exactly what it is and revels in it. 'It's hard to make a show seem this shallow, but still be so entertaining (complimentary). Brittany Snow is great, but Malin Akerman is perfection and their chemistry is GAY gay. I love it.' Lee commented: 'The Hunting Wives is kind of a mess with questionable writing but Brittany Snow and Malin Akerman are constantly serving.' '#TheHuntingWives is the most insane show I have watched all year,' Reporter Max Gao praised. 'I devoured all eight episodes last week and genuinely felt bereft by the end of the season. This show is a soapy good time – outrageous characters, wild plot twists, and *so many* intimate scenes.' Over on Reddit, user Yammersss cheered: '2 episodes in, it's super trashy fun. Malin Akerman's character is a riot, and Brittany Snow is a nice girl who's about to break bad.' The official synopsis reads: 'Sophie trades city life for East Texas and falls into a wealthy socialite's magnetic orbit – where a clique of housewives hide deadly secrets.' Author May, who served as executive producer on the adaptation, recently shed light on the series in a new interview, insisting there is more to it than the 'rich people behaving badly' trope we've been inundated with. 'It really is like escapist fun, but it's also grounded with a small-town murder mystery, which gives it some more gravity,' she told Marshall News Messenger. 'So, it's not just like rich people behaving badly. 'There's some other serious elements brought in. I think that makes it a very gripping and riveting show to watch. There's a cliffhanger at every turn. There's secrets, lies, betrayal. It's got it all.' More Trending Sharing how close the show stayed to her book, she added: 'It is very similar. The book is a good blueprint for what the creators of the show went and did. 'I feel like they took the spirit of the book, and they really made it into this very juicy, binge-worthy, eight-episode series that's just beyond my wildest dreams, to be perfectly honest. 'Even though there's differences, I applaud all the differences, and I'm so excited about it because it all still just really does feel like it celebrates the book and that spirit of rowdy Texas women behaving badly in the pine forest.' The Hunting Wives is available to stream on Netflix now. Got a story?

Will Sharpe reveals intense scene in Netflix hit Too Much left him bruised

Will Sharpe revealed he sustained a facial bruise and burst blood vessels while filming an intense, improvised scene for the new Netflix romcom miniseries Too Much. The 38-year-old British actor, known for The White Lotus, injured himself by repeatedly slapping his face during a breakdown scene with co-star Megan Stalter. Lena Dunham, who co-wrote and directed Too Much with her husband Luis Felber, instructed the actors to improvise the scene. Dunham cast Sharpe for his perceived 'curiosity and depth', believing he embodied the qualities desired for his character, Felix. The series, loosely inspired by Dunham and Felber's relationship, explores themes of adulthood and the challenges of a tumultuous relationship.
