Former One Direction band member Liam Payne has died aged 31. In this episode, we look at his rise to stardom, the fandom that was built around his work, and what he said about being a young man and father in the public eye.

We also need to talk about the complicated legacy he left behind after allegations were made by his ex-fiancee and ongoing legal matters were made public before his death.
