Liam Payne nuzzles Kate Cassidy's neck as Cheryl's ex and new beau put on loved-up display

Liam Payne and his latest squeeze, social media influencer Kate Cassidy, put on an amorous display while out celebrating the festive season with friends.

The 29-year-old former One Direction star has been dating 23-year-old American beauty Kate for the past few weeks.

And on Friday night they hit the town together - as well as a gaggle of Kate’s gal pals, as they got into the festive spirit.

Liam and Kate made their red carpet debut as a couple at the British Fashion Awards earlier this month - and now they are happily flaunting their romance online.

A friend of the pair captured a video of them passionately kissing each other while they were out at a party.

With Liam dressed in a simple white t-shirt, and Kate looking chic in a black outfit, the pair hit the dance floor.

Liam pulled his younger lover in close and then passionately nuzzled against her neck while she looked delighted.

Liam then turned to face the camera and scowled at the person making the recording before Kate planted a playful kiss on his cheek.

The chart topping singer then gave a middle fingered salute to the camera before the footage abruptly ended.

Kate shared the footage vie her own Instagram Stories while Liam refrained from sharing the footage on his own feed.

Reports earlier this week suggested that Liam and Kate’s relationship could be heating up - after she introduced him to her parents.

According to The Sun, Kate and Liam flew to New Jersey where the ex-1D star met her parents for the first time.

The meet-the-parents trip came just weeks after Liam whisked his new girlfriend off to Rome for a romantic break together.

A source said: “Many people thought Kate was going to be another flash in the pan but things have really taken off.

“He is besotted and couldn’t wait to meet her friends and family.

“It’s been quite a tough 12 months for him but Kate has helped him get back to his best.”

Liam famously had a two year relationship with Girls Aloud star, and former X Factor judge Cheryl Tweedy from 2016 until 2018.

The pair welcomed a son named Bear together in 2017 - before their relationship crumbled the following year.

The could have been raising their child - with Chezza giving a recent rate glimpse of the young boy who turned five this year.

The singer along with fellow Girls Aloud star Kimberley Walsh went to a lapland experience in the UK where they wrapped up warm and hunted for Santa.

A snap showed proud mum Cheryl walking hand-in-hand with her son as they took in the sights together.
