Liam Payne sent fans around the world into a panic last week when he was rushed to hospital during an anniversary trip with his girlfriend.

The One Direction star suffered agonising pain during his visit to Lake Como, Italy, with Kate Cassidy, 24, and was admitted to hospital – where he was expected to remain for several days – to undergo urgent tests.

As his loyal following wished him a speedy recovery, his ex Cheryl Tweedy, who is mum to his six-year-old son Bear, has been left “upset” upon learning of his latest health issues.

A source told new, “Cheryl is a strong person, she’s very kind and she just wants Liam to be happy and healthy. She’s always tried to support him because he’s Bear’s father and she’s always tried to be there for him.

“It’s very hard for Cheryl – she feels upset about it. She is worried and concerned for Liam because he’s Bear’s dad and she wants him to be the best dad he can be. But she has her mum around her, who’s a great support for them, and recently she’s been getting on with her own life as a single mum. She’s been building her life and focusing on work and Bear.”
