One Direction star Liam Payne has been rushed to hospital while celebrating his first anniversary with girlfriend Kate Cassidy in Italy.
The singer, 30, was hospitalised with kidney pain, according to The Sun.
“Liam is in a bad way but he’s in the best place he can be and finally doctors will be able to get to the bottom of what is going on,” a source told the newspaper.

“Naturally he is gutted that his and Kate’s trip to Lake Como has been ruined but at least she was there to help him when he fell ill.”
According to the publication, Payne will be spending quite some time in the hospital – at least six more days – as doctors try to get to the bottom of the recurring health issue.
“They want to do every test possible to understand the issue fully but they now suspect that there has been an underlying issue for a while that has been getting worse,” the source said.
The revelations comes two weeks after the Sunshine singer announced he had to cancel his first solo tour after being hospitalised with a serious kidney infection.
“It’s with a heavy heart I have to tell you that we have no other choice but to postpone my upcoming tour of South America,” the 29-year-old musician wrote in an Instagram caption for a video in which he directly addressed fans.
