Ant Middleton reflected on Liam Payne’s heartbreaking advice to those struggling with mental health.

The former SAS: Who Dares Wins star recalled how the One Direction singer opened up about needing “great people around you” when they appeared on the Straight Talking Together show.

A clip of Liam’s interview was played to Ant when he appeared on This Morning on Thursday (24 October).

After seeing the clip, Ant said: “It’s OK having those moments of being distracted, but like Liam said you’ve got to have people around you

“Even if it’s just a phone call or a text.”

The 31-year-old singer tragically died last Wednesday (16 October) after falling from a third-floor balcony of the Casa Sur Hotel in the Argentine capital Buenos Aires.
