LIAM PAYNE splurged thousands on a Valentine’s trip to remember.
The One Direction singer whisked girlfriend Kate Cassidy on a lavish break to the Arctic Circle in the hope of seeing the northern lights, staying in a log cabin costing £500 a night.
Kate is hoping to make it as an influencer, and has inspired his comeback single Teardrops, out next month.
The song is all about how they battled to make their relationship work.
I told in May how the couple split and Kate had ditched the UK to return home to America – only for them to rekindle things weeks later.
From tongue scraping to saying no, here are 12 health trends to try in 2023
Sounds like the couple are well and truly back on track.
Dua dual against Beyonce
DUA LIPA is going head to head with Beyonce in a race for No1.
The British-Albanian singer’s tune Training Season came out on Friday and is on course to top the charts this Friday, finally toppling Noah Kahan’s Stick Season after seven weeks at No 1.
However, Beyonce is hot on her heels, as her new country song Texas Hold ’Em, which was at No 9 last Friday, has risen to No 2, according to midweek data from Official Charts.
It is fewer than 3,000 sales behind, so it could all change as the week goes on.
If Dua does make it, it will be her fifth No 1 following last summer’s Barbie track Dance The Night.
TAYLOR SWIFT seemingly made a dig at ex-boyfriend Joe Alwyn during her latest show, revealing that she had felt “lonely” spending lockdown with him.
She was with the British actor through the pandemic but doesn’t paint a happy picture.
Speaking on stage in Melbourne at the weekend, she sang the track Betty and said writing it later was a departure from a “lonely millennial woman covered in cat hair, drinking my weight in white wine.”
In April, she releases her new album, about the end of their long romance, so I’m sure we can expect more swipes.

Paloma has flex appeal
SHIVER me timbers!
Paloma Faith looks like a right jolly roger in this pirate hat.
She wore the quirky headgear and a kinky leather harness to perform at G-A-Y Heaven nightclub in London to celebrate the release of her new album.
Paloma, who also showed off her muscles, put out The Glorification Of Sadness on Friday, but she didn’t look too downcast by the time she made it on to the stage in the early hours of yesterday.
I hope she didn’t have too much of a wild one after she finished her set.
She is due back on the promo trail today and is set to perform for Radio 2’s piano room series from 11.30am.
Get a Berocca and a couple of hash browns down you and you’ll be right as rain, Paloma.
Piranha Danny's nibble at Charlie
THE MONKEES v The Beatles, Blur v Oasis, even Ladbaby v Elton John – they were all chart battles I could get behind.
But I never thought I’d need to weigh in on Piranha v Rhino.
On Saturday, McFly’s Danny Jones took the Masked Singer title from pal Charlie Simpson of Busted, who won wearing a horned red costume in 2023.
The two bands have a long-running, matey rivalry in the charts and even toured together as supergroup McBusted.
Now Danny laughs: “I did it because I thought I could win it like Charlie. Watch out Charlie and Rhino, Piranha is coming!”
While Danny has found TV fame on his tod as a coach on The Voice Kids, he previously packed in a short-lived career as a solo artist – although that could still change.
He added: “Without the rest of McFly, it was a lonely, scary place to be, but I feel like that was a cool place to be and to challenge myself personally – feel the fear and do it.
“This has made me a better singer. They’ve got me singing stuff I’ve never dreamed of.”
Check out Kris
KRISTEN STEWART made sure everyone was checking her out in these pastel co-ords.
She wore the quirky miniskirt and jacket to the Berlin Film Festival yesterday, to promote lesbian crime thriller Love Lies Bleeding, which is out next month.
Speaking about the flick, she said: “The era of queer films, being so pointedly only that, is over.”
I’m impressed she looked so good on the red carpet, given it was a chilly seven degrees in the German capital.
Time to warm up with a gluhwein, I think.
