Liam Payne had been enjoying a one year anniversary trip in Lake Como with his girlfriend Kate Cassidy when he was hospitalised for \u2018agonising\u2019 pain.<\/p>\n
The pair spent a romantic day together in the sunshine just days before he was rushed into treatment with what is reported to be a serious kidney infection.<\/p>\n
Before this concerning change in his health, Liam and Kate had been happily wandering around the Mandarin Hotel in Lake Como together.<\/p>\n
The pair walked around in the sunshine, admiring the views and leafy green gardens, much like a romance novel.<\/p>\n
The 30-year-old looked relaxed, showing off his tattoo sleeves in a white Nike T-shirt over some black shorts.<\/p>\n
Kate, 24, wore a comfy stone-coloured dress with her hair flowing in the breeze, complete with sunglasses and a little red handbag.<\/p>\n
