American model Maya, 23, made haunting comments on a podcast just two days before he plummeted to his death from a hotel balcony. The model spoke out on The Internet is Dead podcast, and said: "There was one time I tried to get him help, but he was not taking it."

She added: "He would always message me after we broke up, he would say, 'I'm not well'. He would always play with death, and be like 'well I'm going to die, I'm not doing well'. I know the lifestyle that he lives and there is a day that something is going to happen.

"So I would always be like, OK, he's saying these things, I am going to have to help him because I am not going to be able to live with myself if something happens to him." Earlier this month Maya instructed her legal team to send a cease and desist letter to the pop star, accusing him of repeatedly contacting her and her loved ones.

In a statement to The Sun, a spokesperson said: “Maya Henry issued a cease and desist last week to Liam Payne following the emergence of new and concerning information. She has retained attorneys Marco Crawford and Daniel Cerna to represent her. At this time, that is her only comment on the matter.”

Speaking about LIam on TikTok earlier this month, Maya said: “Ever since we broke up he will blow up my phone. It’s always from different phone numbers too so I never know where it is going to come from. He will create new icloud accounts to iMessage me. It’s always a damn new iCloud account. Each time I see a new one pop up on my phone I’m like ‘oh here we go again."
