Liam Payne duetted with a hologram of himself at the BAFTAs - and yes, it was as bad as it sounds

The former boyband star opened the show with new song 'Midnight'

If one Liam Payne is your idea of a nightmare, you'd best stop reading now.

The former One Direction star appeared at the BAFTAs last night to perform his new song 'Midnight' - but for some strange reason, someone thought the concept of the lucious-locked boyband singer duetting with a hologram of himself would be a good idea.

In the past, Payne has done himself no favours with his cringeworthy social media posts, but this has to take the biscuit.

While there were some undoubtedly impressive visuals in the mix - which we're guessing was the whole point of the performance - the whole 'duetting with yourself' thing is more than a bit Alan Partridge-esque.
