8 TIMES LIAM PAYNE WAS THE KING OF X FACTOR THIS WEEKEND 

There\'s nothing better than a surprise One Direction spot during the X Factor live shows and having headed back to his musical homeland, Liam Payne was all over our screens during Saturday night\'s show after turning up to see Reggie and Bollie do \'What Makes You Beautiful\'.

But not all the action took place on the show and once he got backstage, pretty much ALL the contestants and crew got in there to ask Liam for a selfie.
