‘This is like one long Harry Styles impression!’ he joked, before also comparing himself to Chris Hemsworth in Thor.

Liam explained that he had learnt from his time being unwell that being unable to exercise can make him feel agitated.

‘When I can’t train or work out I become a depressive madman!’ he admitted, before explaining that he has been spending more time with his son Bear, 4, whom he shares with ex Cheryl.

‘I’ve been trying to teach him how to swim, which is tasking. As a dad I try to push him quite hard sometimes, its tough to know the right balance. His mum’s quite good at that, to be fair, his mum’s quite good at that stuff…’ he explained.
