Music mogul Simon, 65, is said to be 'gutted' by the news of the Stack It Up singer's passing, with an insider claiming that he cherished him like his own flesh and blood – along with fellow One Direction boys Harry Styles, Zayn Malik, Louis Tomlinson, and Niall Horan. Payne had previously auditioned in 2008 when he was 14, and performed a jaw-dropping rendition of Frank Sinatra's hit Fly Me To The Moon for judges Simon and Louis Walsh, and his future ex-girlfriend Cheryl Cole. Production is set to pick back up on Saturday with Alesha Dixon, Amanda Holden, KSI and Bruno Tonioli on the panel while the mourning mogul grieves the popstar's death.
