Liam Payne's heartbreaking final plan to declare love for Naomi Campbell before his death

Liam Payne had been planning to confess his love for original supermodel Naomi Campbell in a track which he believed would be his next hit song

Liam Payne planned to share his love for Naomi Campbell who he believes was "the one that got away."

The former One Direction singer tragically died aged just 31 in October. He fell from the third floor of a hotel. An autopsy ruled that Liam had died instantly after his fall which caused "multiple traumatic injuries" and subsequently led to "internal and external haemorrhage."

But before his death, the late musician is said to have planned to cement his love for the original super model, who he dated for several months in 2019. While both had previously remained tight-lipped about their romance, it would have marked the first time Liam had addressed it in depth. The pair dated when Liam was 25 and Naomi was 48.

It's claimed that Liam had been secretly working on the song "Closer to You" following their break up. Sources claim that the track, which he recorded last year, saw him reference Naomi's perfume which would often leave a lingering smell. It's claimed that the singer who enjoyed success with solo track including Strip That Down and Bedroom Floor believed the song would be a hit for him.

Naomi is said to be aware of the track which Liam had been "extremely proud" of. Speaking to the Mail on Sunday, a source said: "Liam and Naomi dated for three or four months and, like all things with Liam, he took it very seriously. He was an emotional guy, they didn't have a big bust-up, it was more that they realised their relationship couldn't last long-term because they were both juggling careers and traveling a lot."

In the unreleased track, Liam is said to have expressed his wish to "get closer" to the iconic star. Lyrics include: "I want to love you," and: "Still smell your perfume in my room..." The publication claim that Liam had recorded the vocals for the track in July this year at a studio in Los Angeles, three months before his devastating death.

The track was submitted to a Buenos Aires court as part of a 91-page document, consisting of over 400 files, made by lawyers representing Roger Nores, a friend of Liam. It's believed that Nores and Liam's girlfriend, Kate Cassidy assisted with the lyrics for the track.

It's believed that Rami Yacoub, who wrote One Direction's debut hit, What Makes You Beautiful was one of the masterminds behind the track, which was also worked on by Grammy Award-winning producer Max Martin. But while Nores may have helped on the track, he is currently facing an investigation by Argentinian law enforcements – despite him refusing to be questioning.

Alleged dealer Braian Nahuel Paiz and Ezequiel David Pereyra, a former employee at the Buenos Aires hotel where Liam lost his life, said they were "retaining their right to remain silent" during their Zoom quiz on Tuesday in front of Laura Bruniard. Citing sources close to the probe overnight respected Argentinian news portal Infobae said businessman Mr Nores, who has denied claims he abandoned his pal before he plunged from his third-floor balcony at the CasaSur Palermo Hotel, had followed suit yesterday by declining to testify.

His defence lawyer told the judge he would be submitting a written statement to the court in the coming days, although no more details were given. The last two suspects, hotel chief receptionist Esteban Grassi and head of security Gilda Martin, were scheduled to be interviewed on Thursday.

Mr Nores told a TMZ documentary examining the life and death of Liam Payne which aired earlier this week that he was “in good spirits and perfectly balanced” the day he died as he refuted claims the singer was acting erratically and was intoxicated shortly before his October 16 fatal fall.

The businessman, fighting accusations he abandoned his pal before his death amid claims he was Liam's 'de facto' manager, has previously protested his innocence after being named locally as one of the men under investigation. He said in a statement last month: "I never abandoned Liam, I went to his hotel three times that day and left 40 minutes before this happened. There were over 15 people at the hotel lobby chatting and joking with him when I left. I could have never imagined something like this would happen. I've given my statement to the prosecutor on October 17 as a witness and I haven't spoken to any police officer or prosecutor ever since. I wasn't Liam's manager. He was just my very dear friend."

On November 7, a press release from the National Criminal and Correctional Prosecutor's Office said that the singer's toxicological results were shared with his family and showed that he had traces of "alcohol, cocaine and prescription antidepressants" in his system. The release said: "This conclusion was reached after the complete toxicology tests on urine, blood and vitreous humor." Reports claim that the Wolverhampton-born mega star had been attempting to scale the balcony and plan an escape from his room which went wrong.
