Liam Payne’s posthumous appearance as a guest judge in a forthcoming Netflix talent competition is unconfirmed, contrary to previous reports that suggested that footage of the late One Direction star would be included.
Building The Band, which matches up singers to form bands without seeing each other, was announced in September by Netflix before Payne died on 16 October, aged 31, after falling from a third-floor hotel balcony in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
