Liam Payne’s dancer ex appeared to take a brutal dig at the star after finding love with Radio presenter Sonny Jay.

Danielle Peazer, 35, met Liam, now 29, when he was a fresh faced 16 year old competing on The X Factor with his band One Direction.

Danielle, who is six years Liam's senior, was working as a dancer on the show at the time.

The pair hit it off and dated on and off for three years, until 2013, and then reportedly rekindled their romance briefly last year.

Danielle and Liam set tongues wagging when they were photographed hanging out at a Soccer Aid afterparty in June 2022, almost ten years after their original split, and even left together in the same car.

However, it didn’t appear to be a case of second time lucky and it looks like there’s still some bad blood between the pair.

Taking to her Instagram, Danielle shared a number of sweet snaps and videos of her new beau Sonny.

Underneath the montage, she wrote: “This video isn't to say that meeting someone will solve all of life's problems, it's possible to be 100 per cent happy and content being single or in whatever situation works for you.”

“But after years of mistreatment, I learned that the reason I'd accepted so little from guys is because I hadn't put in the work on myself to discover my boundaries, find my confidence and also know my worth,” she added.

Danielle then explained that she didn’t know how much she had “evolved” until she met Sonny and that she “didn’t even need to express my morals, standards and desires in a relationship.”

“He just gets it,” she said, “he gets me, and I've never felt safety in a relationship like this. So much so, that I feel proud to share a private segment of my life with my online community, something I haven't done for years, if ever in this way."

It’s not known how long Danielle has been dating Sonny, 30, but the pair went public on 30 June when the dancer posted an adorable tribute to her new man.

Getting candid, she explained how she had spent the past few years focusing on herself and her friendships, but still felt as if something was missing from her life.

Then she said, “and then I met you” before joking that she was “hard launching” her boyfriend to her one million Instagram followers.

Liam, meanwhile, is believed to be single after he split from his most recent flame, model Kate Cassidy, who he dated between October 2022 and May 2023.
