It has been revealed that Liam Payne’s family have “given their blessing” for his final TV appearance following his tragic death.
The One Direction star fell to his death from a hotel balcony in Buenos Aires last October.
It has now come to light that he had filmed a Netflix talent show before his passing, entitled Building The Band, and was shot earlier last year seeing Liam join a star-studded panel alongside Nicole Scherzinger and Kelly Rowland.
The show’s creators feared that it might not be released all together, or that Liam’s scenes would be cut – out of respect for the late singer.
However, producers have now confirmed it will go ahead with the full support of Liam’s loved ones.
A source shared with The Sun that his family were shown the whole series in advance and Netflix worked “very closely” with them to ensure the tone of the final version was right.
They continued: “Liam was on great form at filming so everyone’s pleased fans will get to see the ‘real’ him one last time. It will be bittersweet when the show is released.”
“Netflix have gone out of their way to make sure his family are happy. Producers sent them the footage so they are fully aware of what to expect and they have given it their blessing.”
This comes soon after it was reported that Cheryl Cole could block a certain family member from inheriting Liam’s £24 million fortune.
The pair were in a relationship for two years and in 2017 they welcomed a son, Bear, together.
Although having died without a will, Liam left £28,595,000, though this was reduced to £24,280,000 after his expenses and debts were paid, according to court documents.
A source shared with The Sun: “She feels she wants Bear to be of an age where he can make informed decisions about the money.”
“She wants him to still have ambition and the drive to succeed without the back-up of the money — and she’s aware that people may want to befriend him because they are aware of his situation.”
This comes after those close to the former X Factor judge explained how Liam’s £24 million legacy could whittle down to £12 million due to inheritance tax.
Describing it as “still an incredible amount of money”, they added: “Cheryl wants to do everything she can to protect Bear and make sure the money comes to him when the time is right.”
Since Liam and his partner at the time of his death, Kate Cassidy were not married or in a civil partnership at the time of his death, she will likely receive none of the money.
The report comes shortly after his partner Kate revealed the pairs chilling final conversation.
Speaking to Jay Shetty on his On Purpose podcast, Kate recalled the last thing he said to her before she left Argentina to fly back to Florida a few days before he died.
She said: “I remember sitting there with him and I was going on and on and on about how much I love him, and he laughed and interrupted me and was like: ‘Kate you’re gonna miss your flight your car is in the driveway.'”
Liam then said: “You’re acting like this is the last time you are ever gone see me again.”
Kate explained: “I just laughed back. But to look back in time and know that that was the last time I was ever going see him again is just so chilling.”

However, Kate confessed: “I am so blessed that it was that heartfelt goodbye. Our last goodbye I wouldn’t have wanted it to be any differently.
“I am so glad we had that beautiful time together and I wouldn’t change that.”
