Former One Direction star Liam Payne has unveiled his new bleach blonde hair, just a few days after announcing his split from fiancée Maya Henry.

The 'Strip That Down' singer took to his Instagram Story on Thursday (June 17) to share a photo of himself sporting the light, super short close crop – which is a far cry from the brunette quiff he had beforehand and the lockdown curls he had before that.

Payne finished off the look with a freshly shaved slit in his left eyebrow.

Less than two weeks ago, 27-year-old Payne confirmed that he and model and trainee human rights lawyer Henry had called it quits on their romance. The pair had been together for three years.

"I feel like more than anything at this point, I'm more disappointed in myself that I keep on hurting people," he told host Steven Bartlett, while appearing on the latter's Diary of a CEO podcast.

"That annoys me. I've just not been very good at relationships, and I know what my pattern of things is with relationships 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."

"That's what happened with my last relationship," he added. "I just wasn't giving a very good version of me anymore. I feel better out of it. I 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. I hope she's happy."
