Liam Payne rushed to hospital during romantic getaway

The 30-year-old was rushed to hospital once again after celebrating his and Kate's one-year ­anniversary. Medical professionals are thought to have kept the singer in where he'll remain for "several days" for "emergency treatment". Sources say he's in a "bad way" but was being helped by Kate after the ordeal at a lakeside property after the weekend. As per 'Mirror.co.uk', doctors will reportedly carry out "every test possible" in a bid to get to the bottom of Liam's ongoing health issues.

"Liam is in a bad way but he's in the best place he can be and finally doctors will be able to get to the bottom of what is going on," an insider told 'The Sun'. "Naturally he is gutted that his and Kate's trip to Lake Como has been ruined. But at least she was there to help him when he fell ill. Doctors have warned him not to expect to be signed off to go home for at least another six days. They want to do every test possible to understand the issue fully but they now suspect that there has been an underlying issue for a while that has been getting worse," they added. This news came weeks after the singer cancelled his tour due to a kidney infection.
