Molly-Mae Hague confessed she 'couldn't stop thinking about Liam Payne' after his tragic death on October 16.

The Love Island star, 25, uploaded a vlog for fans on her YouTube channel and discussed his heartbreaking passing. The former One Direction star was holidaying in Buenos Aires, Argentina, for several weeks when he fell from the third-floor balcony at the CasaSur Palermo Hotel in the capital city.

The devastating news of Liam's death has shocked the music industry, and tributes from friends, celebrities and fans all over the world quickly poured in, including from the One Direction band members and Cheryl Tweedy - with who he welcomed a son called Bear, now seven.

In the new vlog, Molly discussed her busy schedule before switching the topic to the Strip That Down singer. She said: "Life's just been a lot recently and also, in the last couple of days, I've literally not been able to stop thinking about Liam Payne. The way that news hit me.

"I'd say I haven't stopped thinking about it, like I can't fathom it. I cannot believe in the slightest that he's passed away. I don't know. I met him a good few times, I met him four or five times and he was so lovely. When I read the news, I kept on waiting for it to come out as not true. I was up for hours waiting for it to be not true. And now it's days later and it's definitely true. This is just crazy, it's just the saddest thing. I cannot stop thinking about his family and girlfriend."

She also paid tribute to the star on her social media page a few days after his death. Writing on her Instagram stories she expressed her sorrow, saying: "I haven't been able to stop thinking about the most heartbreaking news of Liam's passing.

"It has utterly shocked me. I met Liam a few times and he was such a genuine and kind person - always making the effort to talk to me and ask how I was. I just can't stop thinking about his family, his son, girlfriend and friends. My heart aches for them. Rest in Peace Liam."

Liam said to have been in the wrong place at the wrong time when he fainted in his room at the hotel in Buenos Aires earlier this month. Broadcast journalist Paula Varela said: "There is footage that is not being released to the media with the balcony scene where you see that Liam faints and tragically because of where he is, falls from that balcony. If he had been beside his bed he would have fallen on his bed."

The footage is part of a horrific sequence of CCTV, it is understood.
