Inside Cheryl and Bear's first Christmas without Liam: Friends reveal how his family are rallying round, the 'great lengths' Cheryl is going to... and what's happened to ex-girlfriend Kate Cassidy to KATIE HIND For much of Bear Payne's life, his beloved father Liam was a constant globetrotter, jet-setting across the world, determined to make a success of being a solo artist.
But without fail, no matter the distance Liam would need to travel, there was always one time of the year when he made sure he was home to see his son: Christmas Day.
Liam Payne, pictured with Cheryl, died in October when he fell from a third-floor balcony of a hotel in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Imagine, then, the heartache this year for Bear, aged just seven, when he wakes on Christmas morning without the presence of his beloved daddy.
Indeed, the festive period will see visits from all his loved ones, including the Payne family – Liam's parents Karen and Geoff and the star's older sisters.
