Girlfriend of Liam Payne explained why she left holiday early

Now, fans are looking closely at one of Kate’s recent TikTok videos where she explained why she was heading home to Florida without Liam.

The blonde bombshell told fans whilst showing clips of her journey home: “I was so ready to leave. Love South America, but I hate staying in one place for too long and we were supposed to be there for five days, turned into two weeks and I was just like: ‘I need to go home.'”

Kate also admitted that she felt anxious about her departure, could barely sleep on the flight and was left with a red rash on her neck due to the stress.
