But he hinted that the former X Factor judge may have ended the relationship when he admitted he hadn't planned for the split.

"Erm, I mean that bit of it is difficult and you’re tryna like, you break up and like obviously we’ve broken up and then it was like a couple of days or a couple of weeks before we actually like put the announcement out," he added.

"And that’s the bit when it really hits home I guess but at the same point it’s like breaking up twice like, we already did this once and now I’m having to go through all of that again just because…

"You know, and I didn’t really expect any of this obviously and it’s er, yeah I mean, it’s difficult."

The star also urged fans to remember that he's a real person, explaining, "I think sometimes people need to remember that behind all those statements and things there are actually people who are going through the same sort of stuff that you go through whether they’re famous, rich or whatever they are, it doesn’t really matter."

We hope you're ok, Liam!
