The X Factor star shared: “I feel like more than anything at this point, I’m more disappointed in myself that I keep on hurting people.

“That annoys me. I’ve just not been very good at relationships.

“And I know what my pattern of things is with relationships, I feel at this point. I’m just not very good at them so I just need to work on myself before I put myself on to somebody else.”

Furthermore, Liam said: “That’s what happened with my last relationship.

“I just wasn’t giving a very good version of me anymore. I feel better out of it.

“It didn’t feel good doing what I did but it had to happen. Just a corny way to say it was the best for us both.”
