Liam wrapped filming on the programme, hosted by Backstreet Boys singer AJ Maclean, just months before he passed away leaving the multi-million pound show in limbo.

An insider said: “The streaming giant spoke with Liam’s family as they didn’t want to progress the project without taking their feelings into consideration.

“The sense they got was that this was a celebration and a positive image of Liam, doing what he did best as a true boyband star.”

The streaming giant confirmed its huge slate for the coming year at a star-studded event in central London.

Previously, a source said: “Netflix will sit down with Liam’s family when the time is right to speak about the series and when it could be released.

“Everyone involved is devastated and their heart goes out to his family.

“There is no rush or pressure to release the series.

“It would simply be a beautiful tribute to Liam and capture him at his best in the months before his death.”

Building the Band, which sees Liam joined by fellow judge Nicole Scherzinger and Kelly Rowland, featured in the line-up.

The competition — hosted by Backstreet Boys star AJ McLean — culminated in three live shows that were filmed in the summer at Manchester’s Aviva Studios.

Netflix today promised the programme had: “one big goal: to find the next great music band.”

Although it sounds similar to the X-Factor, which brought Liam together with his 1D bandmates Harry Styles, Niall Horan, Zayn Malik and Louis Tomlinson in 2010, Building the Band delivers a twist.

All the auditioning singers on the show perform in booths where they’re unable to see one another, so they’re initially forced to connect through music and talent alone.

Tributes to Liam Payne

SHOCKED fans, former co-workers, loved ones and friends flooded social media with sad tributes to Liam Payne after news of his death emerged.

Harry Styles’ mum Anne was among the first from One Direction’s camp to share her reaction, posting a photo of Liam and writing ‘Just a boy…’ alongside a broken heart emoji.

Britain’s Got Talent judge Amanda Holden shared an image of the pair together with the words: “Such an awful tragedy.

“Sending love to his family and all those who loved him.”

X Factor star Olly Murs told fans he was “devastated” and “lost for words”.

He wrote on social media: “Liam shared the same passions as me, the same dreams so to see his life now end so young hits hard, I’m truly gutted and devastated for his Family and of course his son Bear losing a dad x”.

Liam Gallagher said he was “very sad” and told his followers on X: “Life is precious Kids, you only get to do it once, go easy.”

Former X Factor presenter Dermot O’Leary has also expressed his shock and spoke on This Morning.

He said: “I remember him as a 14 year old turning up to audition on The X Factor, and blowing us away singing Sinatra. He just loved to sing.

“He was always a joy, had time for everyone, polite, grateful, and was always humble.”

BBC Radio 2 presenter Zoe Ball reacted to the “devastating news” on her show and told fans she hugged her own son Woody tight this morning.

JLS band member Marvin Humes reflected on his memories with the singer, sharing: “I first met Liam in 2008 with the JLS boys whilst auditioning for X Factor..he was 14 years old..

“We instantly clicked and looked at him as a little brother..that year it worked out for us but not for him and then 2 years later he went back to audition and One Direction was born..the rest is history..

“Absolutely heartbroken by the tragic news..Liam you wanted to be a global superstar and you did it bro..just can’t believe that things have ended this way..it’s shocking..my thoughts and prayers are with all your family and friends brother..RIP.”

Niall Horan’s brother Greg shared an emotional tribute to Liam, praising him as a “top young man”.

He added: “You will be forever missed. Liam, words can’t describe how much I want to grab my brother and mind him now while the world shows their memories of you and him and the boys.

“My heart goes out to your family parents and sisters and your son Bear and your 1D brothers.

“10th October we met and we started out that evening as 5 families into one big one 1D family thank you for all the laughs bro watch down on all your family and mind them lots of love kiddo x x x 1D 4 LIFE x x x”

German DJ Anton Zaslavski, otherwise known as Zedd, has taken to X with a devastated statement.

The producer, who worked with Liam on his 2017 hit Get Low, wrote: “RIP Liam… I can’t believe this is real…absolutely heartbreaking…”

American singer, Charlie Puth, who was friends with Liam and also collaborated with him on a song called Bedroom Floor, has posted a series of Instagram stories dedicated to him.

Alongside photos of the two of them together in their younger days, Charlie wrote: “I am in shock right now. Liam was always so kind to me.

“He was one of the first major artists I got to work with. I can not believe he is gone…

“I am so upset right now, may he rest in peace. I am so sorry…”

Irish singer duo Jedward also took to social media, saying: “RIP Liam Payne. Condolences to friends and family.”

In another tweet, they added: “Sending strength to Cheryl and his son Bear. And all the One direction Family. RIP Liam Payne.”

American media personality Paris Hilton shared: “So upsetting to hear the news of Liam Payne passing. Sending love and condolences to his family & loved ones. RIP my friend.”

ITV weather presenter Alex Beresford shared a news video about Liam’s tragic death on Instagram, adding: “Can’t believe this! RIP Liam.”

Meanwhile Love Island star Molly Marsh penned: “I’m so taken aback, rest in peace.”

The Gavin and Stacey actor wrote on Instagram: “Talking about Liam in the past tense is utterly heart-breaking.

“I will treasure the moments I got to spend with him. My thoughts are with his family today x.”

Payne previously appeared on Cordon’s The Late Late Show in America.

Former Little Mix star Jade Thirwall – who won X Factor with her bandmates one year after One Direction took part – described him as “the first friend I made in this industry”.

She said: “We fell out of touch as the years went by, but back in 2008 he was the first friend I made in this industry.

“Both of us so young, so ambitious, both hoping we’d ‘make it’. I hope you are at peace now”.

Camila Cabello described his death as a “tragedy” and said he “made an impression” on her when she was a young girl.

Only later are they introduced when style, looks and choreography are brought into play.

Earlier this year, executive producer Cat Lawson described the series as a “brave and bold undertaking”.

He added: “We hand over power to the singers themselves to form their own band based on chemistry first.

“With looks out of the equation, can they create a deeper connection with their bandmates?”

Fans who were in the audience in Manchester previously took to X to share selfies with Liam taken at filming for the live shows.

One, named Lauren, wrote: “Liam was so sweet.”

Another added: “Meeting Liam  . . . was the best thing ever!!

“He held my hand and gave me his most precious smile.”

KATIE Taylor honing her ring craft with dad Pete had fans hailing ‘the best team there ever was’.

Pete had last week proclaimed ‘words can’t express what it means’ while revealing they had trained together for the first time in years.

@KATEI_T86

And now The Bray Bomber herself has shared a snippet from their session together.

She captioned it by quoting an old mantra of her dad’s, saying: “Once your legs are good everything else is easy @petetaylor_boxing.”

Seeing the Taylor family duo back in the ring together sent her fans into overdrive with excitement.

Paul exclaimed: “The best team there ever was, unbeatable.”

Similarly, Jason labelled them: “Dream Team!”

Honing in on that specific boxing commandment, Alex praised: “Especially the work with the legs, the feet, is the great quality taught by dad to Katie.

“Few boxers among men and none among women have this skill.”

KT and Pete’s relationship has had a complicated history outside of the ring.

She worked relentlessly to build the profile of women’s boxing as an amateur, featuring in Ireland’s first-ever officially sanctioned all-female fight in October 2001.

When she turned professional in the aftermath of her crushing loss at the 2016 Olympics, she officially moved on with current coach Ross Enamait.

In the lead-up to her Madison Square Garden fight with Amanda Serrano in 2022, Taylor acknowledged the impact that that time of her life had on her, particularly preparations for the Rio Olympics in 2016.

She said: “I would describe that whole year as ‘turmoil’, there was a lot of turmoil within our family relationships.

“It is no secret at this stage that myself and my dad parted ways throughout that year and my whole training regime was turned upside down.

“I was going from club to club just trying to get spars here and there.

“I was sleeping in the car in between sessions and I wasn’t eating properly.

“But I still genuinely believed I was going to win gold and I believed that was my destiny.

“When things don’t pan out the way you hoped and dreamed, you can’t underestimate how heart-breaking that is.

“As an athlete with my mentality, winning is everything and that was easily the lowest point of my career.”

They have reconciled in the years since, however, with Pete quick to congratulate her on her first win over Serrano and publicly advocating for her dream of fighting at Croke Park to become a reality.

That dream remains unfulfilled almost three years though with his words now seeming to be more and more of a pipe dream due to logistical issues between promoter Eddie Hearn and Croke Park chiefs.

He told the Irish Sun back in 2022: “I do think Croke Park will go ahead if enough people call it out. She deserves it at this stage.

“So far she’s had to fight in the UK and America, and all the Irish fans have had to travel all over to see her.

“They should be able to see her fight in her and their own country.”

A BOY found dead in the grounds of a primary school has been named by his family as Connor Slade.

Police launched an urgent investigation into the 13-year-old’s tragic death at Melin primary School in Neath, South Wales.

Tributes have been paid to the schoolboy and a fund called Connor Slade Forever13 has been set up to pay for his funeral.

Connor’s body was found on school premises in the early hours of Wednesday morning and police are trying to establish why he was there.

A decision was made to close the school on Wednesday but some parents turned up with their children at 9am unaware of what had happened.

One mum, who didn’t want to be named, said: “The boy was 13 so he was past primary school age. I don’t know if he used to be a pupil.

“The school has been very good in protecting children from what happened. There were a lot of police there.”

Counselling has been offered to the 250 pupils who attend the school which reopened today.

Connor’s aunt Rebecca Morgan posted on a GoFundMe page: “Tragically and suddenly my sister lost her 13-year-old son Connor Slade.

“As you can imagine for her and all of his friends and family we are heart broken.

“I am posting this fund me page for any help we can raise to help towards his funeral cost to give him the best send off possible without my sister and Connor’s father having worry about costs.

“I want this to be the least of their worries and be able to grieve him,
we appreciate anything that can be donated.”

Friends are pledging £5 for a bow to be attached to their cars in honour of Connor, who lived with his family in Neath, six miles north of Swansea.

On the day of the tragedy, Danielle Harris, acting headteacher at Melin Primary, wrote a letter to parents.

It read: “We want to inform you that Melin Primary School (infant and junior sites) will reopen tomorrow (Thursday 30th January) following a tragic incident that occurred on the school grounds in the early hours of this morning.

“We understand that recent events have been distressing, and we want to assure you that the wellbeing of our students, staff and wider school community remains our top priority.

“Support services will be available at the school to assist anyone in need.

“If your child requires additional support please do not hesitate to reach out to us.

“We appreciate your understanding and co-operation during this difficult time.”

A South Wales Police spokesman said: “HM Coroner has been notified and the death is not being treated as suspicious at this time.”

A Neath Port Talbot Council spokesman said: “We are extremely saddened to hear this tragic news and our thoughts go out to the family, South Wales Police officers are currently investigating and the council will offer any possible assistance.”

RTE star Maura Derrane looked incredible on Today as she stepped out in a statement green velvet suit – but it has a hefty price tag.

The Galway native was back on screens alongside her long-time co-host Daithi O’Se for another jam-packed episode of fashion, lifestyle and chat.

Maura is well-known for her sophisticated sense of style and Wednesday’s TV look was a total standout.

The 54-year-old donned a beautiful forest green tailored blazer and matching flared trousers from the designer Joseph Ribkoff.

The popular presenter looked effortlessly chic in the formal look – and the colour was a perfect nod to winter.

However, the stylish suit came with an eye-watering price tag, the Bottle Green Velvet Blazer retails for €251 alone.

While the Velvet Flared Pull-On Trousers were priced at €156.

In total, Maura’s screen outfit came in at a whopping €407 – but it was totally worth it.

But fear not, if the designer suit is not in your budget, there is similar bottle green velvet suit on Reiss for just €80.

Maura opted to style her suit with a simple olive green satin vest top underneath.

She finished it off with a pair of black velvet heeled boots and wore her favourite gold hoop earrings.

As for her makeup, Maura went for a bold smokey-eye and peach coloured lipstick.

While her brunette hair looked stunning in her usual tight curls.

Separately, Maura recently updated her fans on the damage her family home suffered during storm Eowyn.

The Irish star also revealed that she had struggled to contact her sister during the time.

In a post shared to Instagram, Maura looked fabulous as she posed on set in the RTE studios.

As she showed off her look, Maura also updated fans on the condition of her home amidst storm Eowyn, and explained that she can’t contact her sister.

She said: “Hope you are all safe and sound after the storm. The gutter fell off our house during the night, but it was nothing compared to what my family and friends went through on Inis Mór and other parts of the country.

“I still can’t get in touch with my sister on the island as the phones are not working there, and the electricity went out at 2am.

“Thinking of all of you today who may have had damage to your homes and property.

“Hopefully we can provide a bit of respite from the gales today. I wouldn’t be going for a walk in this dress today!”

Maura finished off on a positive note as she added: “But it’s perfect inside the studio where it’s warm and cozy.”
