Liam Payne has been rushed to hospital during a romantic holiday with his girlfriend after suffering with agonising kidney pain.
The One Direction singer, 30, fell ill on a trip to Lake Como in Italy with girlfriend Kate Cassidy, The Sun reports.
Liam announced last month that he was cancelling a tour in South America due to a ‘serious kidney infection’ which previously left him in hospital.
Insiders report that the star was celebrating his one-year anniversary with Kate when he fell ill at their holiday property and was rushed to hospital in an ambulance.
He is said to be currently in hospital and will stay for several days.
A source said: ‘Liam is in a bad way but he’s in the best place he can be and finally doctors will be able to get to the bottom of what is going on.

‘Naturally he is gutted that his and Kate’s trip to Lake Como has been ruined but at least she was there to help him when he fell ill.
‘Doctors have warned him not to expect to be signed off to go home for at least another six days.
‘They want to do every test possible to understand the issue fully but they now suspect that there has been an underlying issue for a while that has been getting worse.’
Representatives for Liam have been contacted by MailOnline for comment.
Last month Liam shared the heartbreaking news he was cancelling his upcoming tour after being ordered to ‘rest and recover’ by doctors.
Liam added a caption on the post reading: ‘It’s with a heavy heart I have to tell you that we have no other choice but to postpone my upcoming tour of South America.
‘Over the past week I’ve been in hospital with a serious kidney infection, it’s something I wouldn’t wish on anyone, and doctors orders are that I now need to rest and recover.
‘I was beyond excited to come play for you guys. To all of you who have bought tickets: I’m so sorry.
