This comes after Liam gave eager tweeters a glimpse into his home life as he replied to a select few as he relaxed in his luxurious living room.

The One Direction singer - who is currently working on his first solo album while the band are on hiatus - showcased his incredible surroundings as he shared an intimate snap of his lounge while answering a fan's tweet about what he was doing.

The scene was the picture of coziness with the blazing fire and his dog - Great Dane Watson - relaxed on the carpet by Liam's feet while he watched Jim Carey movie The Truman Show on the plasma across the room. 

The 23-year-old displayed his minimalist yet classic taste with his crushed velvet ottoman, beige leather sofa and vast mahogony coffee table.

Even his holiday decorations were tasteful, with a table centerpiece set in the middle of the space featuring a glass candle hurricane filled with festive cranberries and surrounded by further pillar candles in a dark sandy shade.
