Liam Payne opens up about rows with Cheryl and mocks her 'morning voice' in first interview since split rumours

Joking around, Liam said the pair row about rival football teams
Liam Payne opened up about rowing with Cheryl just days after split rumours surfaced - and then mocked her morning voice in an awkward radio interview.
Confessing the pair's families support different football teams, Liam, 24, said it would be big battle over who son Bear would support as he presented the Capital Breakfast show with Roman Kemp today.
Liam joked: "I’m a West Brom fan, but that’s not the problem. Sometimes it is! Well, this is the thing, I mean Cheryl’s not really that massively into football but she likes to bring up where they’re from when this happens, isn’t it, it’s like ‘oh well I’m from here so I’m gonna do this’, erm, that was a great Geordie accent… [laughs]. That is what she sounds like in the morning!
"it’s like battle of the grandads at the minute, and he’s going to have a tough little choice on his hands at some point because you’re going to have to disappoint some grandparents. Or he’ll just have to go ‘you know what, forget this, I like ice hockey’. Pick a different sport."
Hinting at any fractions in the relationship so soon after stories about splitting is unusual for the normally private pair.
It comes after Liam has reportedly called in divorce lawyers after it was revealed Cheryl wants to split within weeks.
The former X Factor judge, 34, and One Direction star are “going through a rough patch” with some insiders speculating they could split after just two years together.

Sources say Liam, who has been touring the US for almost a year, has been forced to consult a top lawyer to protect his fortune - currently at a huge £54million, compared to Cheryl's £20million.
It is thought neither Liam or Cheryl want to end their relationship but are finding it tough with the 1D star's gruelling work schedule. Girls Aloud star Cheryl has been at home looking after their 11-month-old son Bear.
The chart topping star had been in Paris for the French premiere of Fifty Shades Freed

It is believed Liam went to a divorce lawyer for some advice - Cheryl lives in their Surrey mansion and they have a handful of shared assets.
A source told The Sun: "Liam has sought some legal advice but he still wants to make it work.It'st sensible to be prepared for all options.
"With a young son and a number of assets between them there is more to breaking up than just parting ways. He hopes it doesn't come to it but he's just being careful."
Another source added: “Hopefully they can emerge intact as a couple.
“But there’s no denying it – things are pretty rough at the moment between them.
"Everyone hopes they can sort things out but, at the same time, it may be too large an obstacle.”
Her pals say it’s “business as usual” with her “main focus” on Tuesday’s opening in Newcastle of the Cheryl’s Trust Centre for young people.
On Wednesday Liam will be at the Brits, where he is up for a gong. Cheryl may turn up, in a show of unity, but organisers are currently not expecting her.
On Saturday Liam was pictured at the Groves v Eubank fight with athletics legend Denise Lewis.
The couple spent Valentine’s Day together. Liam posted a shot of a T-shirt saying: “Bear is Mummy’s little Valentine.”
The caption read: “Happy Valentine’s Day @cherylofficial and everyone. Looks like I’ve got the big guy to compete with now.”
But the pair have not been seen out together since October.
A pal said: “Things haven’t been right since Christmas, they’ve been bickering a lot.
“It’s make or break for them at the moment, they really need to be together if it is going to work.”
Liam has been finishing an album. Twice-wed Cheryl has signed for a TV talent show, The Greatest Dancer.
