The ex-One Direction star was celebrating his one-year ­anniversary with Kate when he fell ill at their property beside the lake.

ONE Direction’s Louis Tomlinson publicly appealed to Liam Payne as he re-emerged on social media following his illness.

Following an extended absence from social media, Liam, 30, resurfaced last night, and it was during this time that his former bandmate attempted to reestablish contact.

In an Instagram post, Liam Payne shared a photo alongside Mike Tyson.

He wrote the following caption: “Thanks for having me Saudi. Its beautiful to see how the landscape is changing.”

Louis commented: “Give me a ring lad!!!”

The comment garnered over 46k likes in the space of 13 hours.

One fan wrote: “LOUIS COMMENTED IM NOT OK IM NOT OK.”

Another fan added: “LILO INTERACTION.”

Liam, 30, seems to have bounced back from his serious health scare as he stepped out to attend a fancy dinner in Paris with his girlfriend, Kate Cassidy, 23, earlier this month.

Liam was previously rushed to hospital after he fell ill on a trip to Lake Como in Italy with Kate.

The former One Direction star was battling a serious kidney infection.

Doctors investigated his recurring problem, which led to him cancelling a tour in September.
