Former One Director star Liam Payne admits he’s ‘never been any good’ at singing

He found fame as a member of the X Factor boy band One Direction, before launching a solo career.

And taking to his Instagram Stories on Thursday night, Liam Payne admitted that he’s “never been good” at singing while striking “sexy” poses for the camera.

Before heading out for a night in New York, the 29-year-old pop star joked around with her friends and tried out a bright light for a selfie video.

Former One Direction star Liam asked his friend Hadley Anne: ‘What am I supposed to do with it? Am I meant to look sexy, like…?’ while he struck a series of poses for the camera.

His friend Hadley suggested that he sing a song, to which Liam confessed: ‘I can’t do it. It has never been good.

It comes after Liam mocked his weird accent video on Instagram on Wednesday night while giving his best Elvis impression.

The singer, who went viral when he spoke with a weird Irish-American accent at this year’s Oscars, decided to speak with an American accent once again during a karaoke night.

In a series of videos posted to Liam’s Stories, the One Direction star tried his hand at a southern accent and added a few of Elvis’s ‘uha-uha’ for good measure.

Liam panned the camera at the partygoers singing David Allan Coe’s You Never Even Called Me By My Name, before continuing with the lyrics in an American accent.

He joked: “I do accents too…it’s that time of night but it’s Christmas.”

Liam was joined by his new girlfriend, Kate Cassidy, 23, who cut a casual figure in white shorts and a pink hoodie and looked camera shy as the singer turned the camera around to film her.

Kate is understood to be a US citizen of British descent, through her father, and is close friends with model Chantel Jeffries.

Based in New Jersey on the east coast of the United States, he was educated at the 252-year-old College of Charleston in North Carolina, the 13th-oldest institute of learning in the United States.

An informant said Sun: ‘They are crazy about each other. Kate is a wild girl, so Liam is definitely going to have some fun. She always goes out to clubs and seems to love London.

Before his first appearance in London, Liam was believed to be single after Texan model Maya Henry broke off their engagement in April.

Liam’s entertaining video comes after fans called him out for ‘putting on’ a ‘weird’ Irish-American accent in March after being interviewed live on the red carpet at the annual Academy Awards party at the Elton John AIDS Foundation in West Hollywood Park.

The exchange left viewers scratching their heads as he debuted a touch of ‘valley’, before admitting that he hadn’t even been on American soil for two years.

In a video posted to Twitter just six days earlier, to promote Unicef’s Soccer Aid, the Night Changes hitmaker spoke with a noticeably British accent.

The singer later admitted that he had “a lot to drink” the night of his now-famous interview with Good Morning Britain, where he defended his friend Will, 53, for slapping Chris Rock.

He described himself as a “social chameleon” and said his accent is “constantly changing” depending on who is around, before insisting that he is normally “good with accents”.

Addressing his interview in an Instagram Live video, Liam quipped: “I’m good with accents, I take pride in them! I wish I could do my own sometimes.

‘No, I mean, what can I say about that really? It was pretty fun.

The former One Direction star admitted that he had told the presenter not to ask him difficult questions because he “had too much to drink” as his friends could be heard laughing in the background.

He explained: “I had asked Good Morning Britain, the presenter, and I said, ‘Please don’t ask me too much because I’ve had a lot to drink and I’m not well informed about the Oscars.'” I said “please don’t ask me too much”.
