It's been 17 months since the news broke that Liam Payne and Cheryl Tweedy had split, and this Christmas the former One Direction singer will be spending some quality family time with his ex and their two-year-old son, Bear Grey Payne.

Liam revealed he's excited to cook them all a Christmas dinner as he opened up about their festive plans on This Morning. He said he hopes Bear can open his presents for the first time this year.

He said, "I am going to see Bear and maybe cook Christmas dinner. I think we are going to go down and hang out."

The 'Stack It Up' singer continued to tell Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield, "It is the first time he really gets Christmas now, I want to see if he actually gets unwrapping presents this year though, otherwise it will just be Cheryl by the tree again.

"I can really remember it from last year. She wrapped them all up and then unwrapped them. I just sat there going, 'Right, what is this?'"

Liam also opened up in the interview about how he sought therapy following One Direction's hiatus, saying, "I went through a number of different bits of therapy and whatever else. I think for anybody out there who’s having a problem with mental health or something and that struggle, the best thing is to just go and speak to someone.

"If you go through it by yourself, you’re your own soundboard. And we’re all just as crazy as the next person. You need someone to validate your experience almost."

Liam gave an absolutely amazing performance at Hits Radio Live last month - taking to the stage at Manchester Arena to sing his biggest hits! He also opened up about life in One Direction and how much he misses it...
