Last night Liam Payne didn't hold back when he posted a rather rude message to Louis Walsh on Twitter.

The former One Direction singer wrote: "Congratulations to Louis Walsh for setting the worst example on handling media for his band who are about to step into a very hard industry."

And added: "Maybe it's about time you realise it's not all about you and shut the f*ck up for once, let them speak."

OUCHHH.

Liam was responding to Louis's comments about Cheryl during an interview. At a photocall with 5 After Midnight, Louis was reportedly asked about how he'd feel if Cheryl was to return to the X Factor judging panel.

According to The Mirror, Louis responded: "Well Simon wouldn't invite Cheryl back because we have Nicole.

"We have Nicole and Sharon, we don't need another girl. So go and f**k off now! No silly questions, seriously."

He then snapped: "It's not about Cheryl. Don't be stupid, man."

To make matters worse, Louis also apparently said he wasn’t "really excited" about Cheryl's 'pregnancy' as he hadn’t actually been in contact with her for quite some time.

Now 5 After Midnight have spoken out about the situation, saying they are 'really supportive' of Cheryl and Liam.

Speaking on Lorraine, the band said: "We really support them, Cheryl and Liam and the baby situation."

Band member Keiran Alleyne also added: "I know how they feel – I have got a baby myself.

"We are really supportive of them."

And when it comes to their mentor, the boys had this to say: "Louis is Louis. He will do what he does."
