Inside Liam Payne's tight-knit family: Star was raised by his down to earth nurse mother Karen and fitter father Geoff (seen) who who wrote of their extreme 'pride' of being related to him

As well as his parents Karen and Geoff Liam had two older sisters, Nicola (left) and Ruth (right) Payne, making him the youngest of three siblings in the tight-knit family who seemed completely unbothered about a life in the spotlight

In terms of his sisters the siblings all appeared to share a strong bond, with Nicola's most recent picture being a throwback of their family (Nicola seen left)

'It was great, though we didn't have much,' Liam told The Telegraph in a 2017 interview about his childhood (seen with Karen in 2010 after the X Factor final)
