" Liam Payne has claimed that he &amp;#039;died&amp;#039; when he was a baby. The One Direction singer, who is currently on track for a number one hit with his band&amp;#039;s latest single &amp;#039;What Makes You Beautiful&amp;#039;, said that he only has &amp;quot;one kidney&amp;quot; that works because he had many health problems after his birth. Payne revealed in the group&amp;#039;s book Dare to Dream - Life as One Direction: &amp;quot;When I was born I was effectively dead. Weird, I know. The doctors couldn&amp;#039;t get any reaction from me so I had to be brought round and although it seemed like I was okay, there were underlying problems. &amp;quot;I was born three weeks early and I kept being ill. From the age of zero to four I was always in hospital having tests done but they couldn&amp;#039;t find out what was wrong. They discovered that one of my kidneys wasn&amp;#039;t working properly and it had scarred. I had to have 32 injections in my arm in the morning and evening to try and make me better. &amp;amp;gt; One Direction interview: &amp;#039;We&amp;#039;re nervous over number one single&amp;#039;&amp;amp;gt; One Direction &amp;#039;placed on midnight curfew by management&amp;#039; &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;ve still got both kidneys but one doesn&amp;#039;t work so I have to be careful not to drink too much, even water, and I have to keep myself as healthy as possible.&amp;quot; Payne recently revealed that he has experienced lots of &amp;quot;dating disasters&amp;quot;. His bandmate Louis Tomlinson is believed to be dating model Eleanor Calder, while Harry Styles has admitted to being &amp;quot;in love&amp;quot; with The Saturdays singer Frankie Sandford.
