Liam Payne has got very candid in a new interview with Men's Health Australia.

The former 1D star revealed how demanding and stressful it was being apart of the band.

“It’s difficult when you have the level of fame that we had in the band,” he revealed.

“There have been a lot of people in trouble with mental health that aren’t really getting the help that they need and I think that’s a bit of a problem in our industry. It’s the same shit that happens to everyone, that’s been happening since the 70’s. "
