Liam Payne appeared on The X Factor at the weekend to perform his third single 'Bedroom Floor', however it wasn't so much his vocals that got people talking but his 'bizarre' stage exit. The One Direction member turned solo singer walked off the front of the stage and appeared to grab his girlfriend, Cheryl Tweedy, to leave early. However the 'Get Low' singer has now revealed what really happened...

Liam spoke to our Entertainment Team at the Pride of Britain Awards on Monday 30th October and revealed that he wasn't in fact dragging Cheryl out of the studio. He revealed he was in fact told to go the wrong way; "I was told to go that way, I can't do anything other than what I'm told."

Liam then jokingly revealed he went out to get his woman back, when he said, "I'll just go out and steal my woman back."

The new dad also told us the cutest story about baby Bear at Halloween. Liam revealed his son has been dressed us a little spider and a Pokemon in the last week, revealing his gran loves to dress her grandson up.

Watch his interview below:

Well that's cleared that up then! Fans certainly loved Liam's performance. Read the full story here.

The other main talking point of the show was the absence of judge Simon Cowell. The music mogul had suffered a fall on Friday morning and was forced to pull out of the live shows. He has now revealed the reason behind his fall was due to low blood pressure. Read the full story here.

On Saturday Spencer Sutherland was the first act to be eliminated as the boys and girls went head-to-head. On Sunday night Talia Dean left as the overs took on the groups. The new rules mean that there's no sing-off but the act with the lowest votes will simply be eliminated. However this year there was also another prize up for the grabs, the acts with the most votes could battle it out to win a prize to go and see the incredible P!nk in New York. Grace Davies took on Rak-Su and was the lucky winner of the prize.

As the battle continues to be crowned the winner of The X Factor 2017, here's a look back at what previous winners are up to now...
