Liam Payne took to Twitter last night to dismiss whispers of a rift between the One Direction boys.

The 1D heart-throb insists that he, Harry Styles, Zayn Malik, Niall Horan and Louis Tomlinson are just spending time with their families while they can.

‘Lots of articles saying we are clashing … no ones clashing we are just having a bit of Family time after hitting the road for 3 years,’ Liam, 20, Tweeted.

Our favourite boyband are currently enjoying three months off before the start of their Where We Are Tour.
