He quit smoking just before his son Bear was born 11 months ago, but old habits die hard and Liam Payne was spotted treating himself to a cheeky backstage ciggie at the Global Awards last night.
The former One Direction star braved the freezing temperatures to light up after walking the red carpet without Cheryl, who herself is believed to have quit in 2012 after doctors warned her the fags could cost her her voice.
Liam also attempted to part ways with the potentially lethal habit, but fell off the wagon, insisting everyone has 'vices'.
"I'm only young," he told Metro. "I will find the right time to quit. Everyone has their vices. Mum’s not happy about it, put it that way."
However, he earlier claimed quitting was 'the best thing ever.'
