One Direction rep denies Liam Payne and Sophia Smith are engaged

A spokesperson for One Direction has dismissed speculation that Liam Payne is now engaged.

Rumours spread recently that the singer had proposed to his girlfriend Sophia Smith.

The hashtag '#SophiamIsEngaged' even began trending on Twitter as the apparent news was shared.

However, a rep for Payne told Gossip Cop that the speculation was not true.

One Direction meanwhile are currently working on the follow-up to their 2014 album 'FOUR'.

Their fifth effort - the band's first without Zayn Malik - is expected to be released later this year.

Malik quit the group in March in order to step away from the boyband limelight.
