Liam Payne is back together with model ex a month after calling it quits
LIAM Payne is back with his model ex Kate Cassidy after sneaking her into members club bash in West London.
The Sun can confirm the couple are now officially back on after the Strip That Down singer, 29, realised he had made a mistake letting her return to America.
After talking things through via FaceTime, Kate agreed to give things another go - jetting back to the UK at the start of the week.
Keen to keep things as low key as possible, Liam Payne snuck Kate into exclusive Mayfair members club Annabel's on Thursday night.
They both arrived and left the venue separately, with Liam posing for official photographs on his own.
However, the couple were later spotted in the early hours carrying on the party at West London haunt Chiltern Firehouse.
A source said: "Liam and Kate never lost contact when she returned to America - it was never like they had a blazing row.
"When they split last month they honestly thought it was for the best but after a few week he realised he'd made a mistake and wanted to give things another go.
"Liam's schedule is packed for the second half of 2023 but they are both on the same page and want to make it work.
"Kate actually flew back into the UK at the start of the week with her best friend Dani but had been keeping a low profile."

The Strip That Down singer is once again taking part in the charity football bash alongside fellow celebs Tommy Fury, Joel Corry, Sir Mo Farah, and Usain Bolt.
Liam and Kate first got together in July last year with the superstar spending the majority of the Christmas period with Kate and her family in the States before flying to the UK to be with his son Bear, 6.
A source told The Sun last month: "Liam and Kate sat down after he returned from LA and decided it wasn't working out.
"There was no big row or anything - it just ran its course and they both mutually decided to go their separate ways.
"Kate moved out of Liam's home and flew back to the US earlier this week.
"Liam knows it’s the right decision, he's been throwing himself into his music and the rest of the year he is jampacked with work.
"The next few weeks alone will see him fly to back to the States and to Europe to wrap up his new album.
"In truth trying to juggle his career and keep his relationship alive throughout the summer and into autumn was always going to be tricky - they both realised that."
Speaking in June 2021, while on a break from ex-fiancée Maya Henry, former One Direction star Liam admitted he struggles when it comes to dating.
