00:28He spoke to our entertainment reporter, which he's after.

00:31This is your space. Invite everybody else in.

00:34Better than that, fantastic.

00:35Liam Payne made his name on a singing competition,

00:38so there were few better to judge the next generation of stars.

00:43Wow.

00:43The 31-year-old film for Netflix's new show, Building the Band,

00:47just weeks before his death last October.

00:49I was having a drink.

00:50The former One Direction member had been open about his issues with addiction,

00:54something he spoke about on set with series host,

00:57and Backstreet Boy, AJ McLean.

00:59We talked all the time, we hung all the time,

01:02talked about everything from sobriety, life, music.

01:08We actually had a lot of parallels.

01:10We had kind of gone down very similar paths in our personal life,

01:15and he just was an absolute light.

01:17He lit up the room when he walked in.

01:19Payne's family were consulted before the show's release.

01:22His sister Nicola posted online saying,

01:25You were made to be a judge, to guide, to encourage,

01:28and to let your voice be heard.

01:30This show will forever hold a special place in my heart,

01:33because it's one of the last times I saw you,

01:35and I got to witness you shine so brightly.

01:37What are you looking for tonight?

01:39Host AJ said taking part was an opportunity to be honest

01:42about some of the challenges of the industry.

01:44It was a breath of fresh air to be able to give a little bit of insight

01:48and a little bit of knowledge.

01:50You know, we were kind of the guinea pigs,

01:53you know, dealing with managers that were double dipping,

01:57label having complete control,

01:59and really just kind of grinding us to the bone.

02:03It was pretty much nine years straight with no breaks.

02:05Building the band's unique

02:09in that singers first choose their group without seeing any faces,

02:13later meeting properly, and performing live.

02:16It's like watching, like, the MTV Awards or, like, the Grammys.

02:19Like, that was the level that they brought,

02:22every single group brought,

02:24and I was blown away.

02:25The final three episodes are out next week.

02:28The hosts and judges preparing contestants for what's to come

02:31as they chase their dreams.

02:33Richie Dabda, ITV News.
