​After a fairly dramatic 48 hours filled with last minute show cancellations, several buckets full of Irish Directioner tears and a few nervy breakdowns waiting for official statements, Liam Payne is officially back in business. 

He made welcome a return to the stage last night to perform at One Direction\'s second Belfast OTRA gig, and it would seem that his day of being poorly has only gone and made him even fitter than he was before. 

All\'s well that ends well, folks.

Oh look, here\'s some perfect behind the scenes...

Making those rumours of breakdowns seem even more ridiculous than they already did, Liam looked healthy, happy and hotter than the actual sun as he returned to the 1D lineup to do his thang on top form.

According to fans who were actually at the gig, Liam took a moment in his betwen-song chit chat to say a huge thank you to everyone who\'s sent him cute li\'l get well wishes over the past couple of days, and that he was feeling loads better now.

Earlier in the day Liam had confirmed that he was feeling well enough to get back to work, taking to Twitter to apologise to any 1D fans who\'d been left \'disappointed\'.

"Thank you so much for all the trends and lovely messages you guys did for me," he wrote, adding the promise that he\'d "make it up to everyone later." 

Obviously, Mr Payno is an honourable man who sticks by his word, and after vowing to make sure that last night\'s show would be a good\'un, his vocals were more on point than ever...​

His dance moves were sassier than ever...

And his face was generally more beautiful than ever.

Glad to see that One Direction are back to being a fabulous foursome? Reckon it just ain\'t 1D without Liam on that stage? Let us know with a tweet to @Sugarscape.
