    One Direction’s newly single Liam Payne danced into the early hours with new pal Tom Daley

    One Direction’s Liam Payne has been letting his (newly shaved) hair down since splitting with girlfriend Danielle Peazer, wasting no time in getting back to the party scene with new pal, diver Tom Daley.

    The duo were both snapped leaving Mayfair nightspot, Funky Buddha last night and Liam showed no signs of heartache as he wore a huge grin and even stopped to watch a magic trick before hamming up his reaction up to the paparazzi.

    The One Direction singer dressed down in a suit jacket with a checked shirt and paid homage to this year’s Olympics and his mate Tom by striking the iconic Usain Bolt, ‘lightening pose’.

    Tom opted to smarten up for the evening’s events, looking tanned and dapper. Thanks to his superstar status on UK shores, the diver was surrounded by a bevy of girls who were all smiles next to the sportsman.

    Although it’s highly unlikely the One Direction star struggled for female attention. When Liam recently told American radio station he was feeling unwell with a cold, his bandmate Harry Styles chimed in with: ‘He's been kissing too many girls!’
