One Direction singer Liam Payne has explained tweets he sent in the early hours that worried fans of the group.

The singer took to the social networking website this morning (April 21) to proclaim that no-one knows the real him.

The 'Kiss You' star also uploaded a shady photo of himself looking reflective.

When asked about the tweets by a worried fan, the singer stated that he had a bit too much to drink and was trying to make a point.

He said: "Well I guess I was just thinking like nobody knows me I dunno I was a bit wasted aha."

Before his tweets, Payne had been clubbing and he was also asked if he had fun, with the singer replying:

"I did but I'm sooooo tired don't think I've ever been out this much in my life."

The band meanwhile are enjoying the last of their time off being heading out on their Where We Are world tour, which starts in South America on April 25.
