Liam Payne has already finished some “amazing” songs for his debut solo album, fellow singer Calum Scott has revealed.

The former One Direction star - who is reportedly expecting a baby with girlfriend Cheryl - is working hard on his debut solo LP, and now Calum has promised they’re set to be his best yet.

Speaking exclusively to BANG Showbiz at the Capital Jingle Bell Ball with Coca-Cola, Calum said: "I was in the studio with Liam the other day. I heard a few of his songs. They are sounding amazing. I'd love to do something with him."

The 23-year-old singer has been teasing fans with snaps of himself in the studio over the last few weeks and even shared a short clip of a song, where he appeared to provide the vocals.

The news comes as Simon Cowell previously admitted he was a "bit annoyed" at Liam for signing with rival record label Capitol rather than choosing to stay with Sony Music.

He said: "It is a bit annoying if I am honest with you - mainly because it is a another label who has now got your artist who you worked with for so many years.

"But that is the music business, unfortunately. I don't think anyone else from the band will do that.

"We had spoken a lot - him and I - about what he wanted to do next. But I guess he read about Harry's deal and thought we weren't interested. My impression was that he wasn't in any hurry to make a record because he discussed this last year. He was more into songwriting.

"I was teasing him saying, 'If you come up with a great song Liam make sure it is for you and don't give it away. When you're ready I am ready.' So I was a bit surprised. Of course there is a part of you that goes, 'Maybe we should have had the conversation.' That maybe is my fault but it has happened now."

Calum joined a whole host of stars at the Jingle Bell Ball including Olly Murs, Louise Johnson, Nathan Sykes, George Shelley, and more.

Meanwhile, Liam is yet to comment on on-going speculation that he’s expecting a baby with Cheryl.

The star recently showed off a huge bump at her Gala bash, sending Twitter into meltdown as fans beg the pair to speak out on the rumours once and for all.

And it came with a shock fan theory that Cheryl could give birth as early as Christmas.

One fan tweeted: “I didn’t believe there was a bump tbh but I do now, probs a Xmas baby on the cards. Congrats Liam and Cheryl.”

However, Liam’s sister Ruth has jumped to his defence, insisting he will address the claims when he is ready.

She wrote on Twitter: “Bump or no bump,announced or not,it’s completely up to my brother and cheryl what parts of there private lives they choose to share and when.”
