LIAM Payne’s heartbroken sister Ruth has paid an emotional tribute to her brother after watching his new Netflix show, Building The Band.
Yesterday, the trailer for the late One Direction star’s final TV project as a talent show judge was released, after his family gave permission for the series to go ahead.

The programme was filmed just months before the singer’s death at the age of 31 last October.
Liam’s family gave Netflix permission to go ahead with the series — which will be available to stream from July 9 — and were given final sign-off on how he appeared in the show.
The star’s sister Ruth, 33, has watched Building The Band ahead of it’s release, and took to Instagram to share how “proud” she is of her beloved brother.
Sharing a heartfelt tribute, the star’s big sis said: “I didn’t know whether to share this but it felt weird when I’ve raved about Liam’s work and achievements for the last 15 years.
“I’m heartbroken he never got to see how great he is in this show.
“He knew he had done a good job, we all told him this when we were at filming, but watching it back, wow!
Continuing the emotional message, Ruth said: “You’re a star Liam, you always were and always will be.
“There are a range of emotions I felt watching this, but one of the main ones is immeasurable pride. always.”
Liam’s grieving sister ended the post with: “Miss you more every day.”
LIAM’S LAST SHOW
Liam filmed Netflix’s Building The Band last August.
In the new trailer for the talent show series, the singer is seen giving tips to young singing hopefuls, much like he had been.
In one clip he tells them: “You’ve got a lot of work to do vocally — I need to feel that connection between you guys.”
In another scene he is seen seemingly referring to his own One Direction past when he comments on the process they go through on Building The Band.
He is heard saying: “How these bands are put together is not normal — we were not put together that way.”

Liam is one of three judges and mentors on the programme.
The show also features singers Kelly Rowland and Nicole Scherzinger as judges and Backstreet Boys star AJ McLean as the host.
It brings together 50 musicians who have to form six bands, without ever seeing each other in person.
They perform in individual booths and have to pick one another based on singing ability and compatibility alone.
They have to form groups, who then compete against each other with the three judges watching.
It shares similarities to how Liam’s band One Direction were formed on The X Factor in 2010.
Liam filmed his scenes in the show in August just two months before he fell to his death from a third-floor hotel balcony in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
