One Direction star Liam Payne has revealed that up until the ripe age of 18, his mother still gave him pocket money - despite Liam joining one of the world's most successful boybands EVER when he was only 16-years-old.

Speaking at an event in New York, Liam revealed, "When I was growing up I did have an allowance, I can't remember how much it was, but my mum made sure that we all got paid."

The 25-year-old continued, "The funny thing was we had it up until the age of 18 and obviously I was already in the band at this point and my mum made sure that I got all my allowance money, bless her, whilst I was in the band as well."

How sweet!

It seems the extra pocket dolla paid off, as when discussing his first big purchase, the 'Strip That Down' singer said, "My first big purchase I think was a house for my parents which obviously felt like definitely the right thing to do."

Liam gushed over his mum for Mothers' Day, as well as the mother of his only child Bear - the one and only Cheryl. Taking to Instagram, he wrote, 'Happy Mother’s Day to these two amazing super mums not sure what me and the little man🐻would do without you xx' sic.

Liam and Cheryl had their first son, Bear Grey Payne on 22nd March 2017, but unfortunately split over a year later.
