Liam Payne splits from Sophia Smith

One Direction star Liam Payne has fuelled speculation that he has split from his girlfriend Sophia Smith.

Payne, who had been dating the brunette stunner for eight months, gave hint to his fans that that all was not well in paradise with a tweet, reported Daily Mirror.

"Can't be without you... Worse thing I ever did was let you go... No(sic) all I got left is the thought of you," he tweeted.

'Little Things' hitmaker Liam was last seen with Smith in March, before the boys set off on their 69-date Where We Are tour.
