One Direction star Liam Payne is a single man again after splitting from his girlfriend Danielle Peazer. Liam and Danielle have been dating back and fourth for the past few years after meeting during his time on X Factor in 2010. The couple adopted a dog together in March this year, after a brief split in September 2012.

Sources say they split because of Liam's busy schedule, and that they've been trying to make things work for a while now. "They have been trying for months to make it work but it just hasn't. They had a big chat last month and decided there wasn't any point in dragging it out", a source tells The Sun.

The source also reveal Liam wants to stay single for a while now, and is not interested in meeting someone new.
