Calling all Liam Payne fans! The One Direction and solo singer took over for one full hour on Hits Radio on Tuesday 14th September.

As part of the Throwback Takeover with Liam Payne & Jordan Lee, Liam picked his favourite throwbacks from the last few years - a mix of some of the biggest artists he's worked with and his general faves.

Liam also spoke to Jordan about his brand new single 'Sunshine' and what it was like to soundtrack the brand-new Disney movie, 'Ron's Gone Wrong'.

How can I listen back to Liam Payne on Hits Radio?

Watch Liam Payne talk about his new single 'Sunshine'

Liam recently released his brand-new single 'Sunshine', a song that is the soundtrack for the new animated film Ron's Gone Wrong. The music video for the new track features scenes from the film alongside Liam singing and at one point, he has a chicken on his shoulder!

Liam told Hits Radio: "The chicken's name was Sunny, which I thought was quite convenient with the song's name being 'Sunshine', it was a very well-behaved chicken, nice to work with, he stood on my head which was quite cool. He didn't poo, what more could you ask for?"

Liam Payne opens up about being a father to Bear

Liam spoke to the Hits Radio Breakfast Show and told us how he's finding being a dad to son Bear Grey Payne: "I think as a dad, the thing that's not widely spoken about is we don't have the same maternal instincts. You think it's going to chance you massively, and it does, but it's not as big a drastic change as you think it's going to be.

"I think that's another thing as well that people don't really speak about, you think you start with a blank canvas, but I feel like Bear kind of shows me what he has. Then we work around that, they learn things quicker than you realise."
