One Direction's Liam Payne flogging old clothes online amid strange requests from fans

One Direction's Liam Payne is selling his old clothes online - but has been faced with some rather strange fan requests.

The father-of-one has made £15,000 for charities The Trussell Trust and The Penrose Club using celebrity fashion site The Closets.

However his fans are said to be asking whether the clothes are unwashed, reportedly 'eager' to get their hands on a pair of the star's used socks.

The Closets owner Alex told The Daily Star : "Someone wanted Liam to work out in a T-shirt and sweat as much as possible, used socks are a big thing.

"I don’t think that’s the thing Liam wants to be interacting with at the minute.

"Some of them come straight out of his wardrobe straight after they've been worn and washed, they're given to me, they're not left with his smell.

He added: "One thing I get a lot is 'are clothes washed? Do they still smell like him?' That's a very common thing, the answer is, yes, they are washed, they have to be, most of these clothes were from One Direction days and since then they've been sat in storage."

The website states: "Liam Payne's clothes, straight from his wardrobe, sold to you, and the profits are donated to charity. What more could you want.

There are currently a pair of Hugo Boss trainers for £35, a Sacai jacket for £450 and a rather fetching pair of bright yellow Guess shorts for £35 all on sale.

Of course Liam isn't the only celebrity to be getting rid of his old clothes.

Katie Price, Gemma Collins and Kerry Katona all use the social media app Depop to make space in their wardrobe.

Liam's band One Direction shot to fame after forming on the X Factor in 2010.

However after a stratospheric rise to the top of the charts, cracks began to show and singer Zayn Malik quit the group in March 2015.

Liam, Harry Styles, Niall Horan and Louis Tomlinson gave their last performance that December.

All have recorded solo material, with Harry winning Brit Awards and a Grammy and Niall's second album out last year.

However, in news which will delight fans talks have supposedly started for a One Direction reunion – and two of the bandmates promise it will be “sooner rather than later”.

Liam said he spoke to Louis to discuss the idea after performing on the same bill as reunited band The Wanted for Tom Parker’s charity concert.

Simon Cowell, who formed the group on The X Factor, said this year he thinks the reunion will happen and would be “amazing”.
