A spokesperson for One Direction has confirmed that Liam Payne is single again.

Reports emanated over the weekend that the British singer had ended his relationship with dancer Danielle Peazer.

The Daily Mail reports that a rep for the band has now backed up the stories, saying: "Liam and Danielle have split. It is all very amicable and the pair remain friends."

The initial reports suggested that Payne's hectic schedule was a big part of the duo's decision.

The pair seemingly also split last year, but they soon resumed their relationship again and got a puppy called Loki together.
