Twitter went wild on Monday when some of Liam Payne's dedicated followers believed that the hashtag "#congratsliam" confirmed news of his fatherhood.
Upon receiving the news of the One Direction member signing a solo deal with Republic Records, Twitter started the "#congratsliam" trend to show support for the 23-year-old heart-throb.
But few fans who were unaware of the contract mistakenly believed that the singer had confirmed rumours that he and his girlfriend, Cheryl Ann Fernandez-Versini, were expecting their first child.
