Kate Cassidy, the girlfriend of former One Direction star Liam Payne, said “nothing about the past few days have felt real” after his death at the age of 31.

The social media influencer, who had been in a relationship with Payne for several years, said she was at a “complete loss” after police in Argentina said the singer died falling from the third-floor balcony of a hotel in Buenos Aires.
