Liam Payne has recalled the moment he winked at Cheryl during his 2008 X Factor audition, describing the cheeky gesture as his "licensed weapon".
The former One Direction singer, 28, claims he and the Girls Aloud singer, 38, have the "weirdest How I Met Your Mother story", during a podcast chat with Logan Paul.
Liam and his ex-girlfriend Cheryl - who share son Bear, 5, together - first crossed paths back in 2008, when the dad-of-one auditioned for The X Factor during Cheryl's tenure on the judging panel.
