“I Wouldn’t Let My Child Go On Reality TV” Says Former X Factor Star Eoghan Quigg

Former One Direction star Liam Payne has died at the age of 31 after falling from a hotel balcony in Buenos Aires.

The singer was dropped by his record label Universal Music and lost his PR representative in the days before his death.

Peter Cardwell speaks with Former X Factor star Eoghan Quigg who was on the show in 2008 with Liam, making it to the Judge's Houses section of the competition before the One Direction star was eliminated.

You notice that these famous parents keep the faces of their children private for a reason because they do not wish what they have to go through on the kids.

Social media has its good and bad points. Like anything in life, it's open to being abused. I'd say there is a whole lot more good than bad, because there are a whole lot more good people in the world than bad. Its just unfortunate that the bad makes the loudest noise. I wouldn't let my kids anywhere near reality TV. For most people, fame is traumatic unless very carefully managed. Fame is a huge abnormality when you think about what it actually is. It is very peculiar and can reek havoc on people.

To be honest if it were up to me I would not allow anybody in to either the music industry or any similar entertainment industry until a person is at least 23-24 so that they can enjoy childhood properly then be adult enough to be mentally sound about things like I remember when One Direction was first formed and I myself are the same age as those guys (currently 32 years old) and I remember thinking to myself that bad things are going to happen to these guys along the way and I was right.

Well the joy of social media is that everyone who reads your comments can see what sort of person you truly are inside..it's a pity so many people want to prove just how nasty, vicious, judgemental and biased they are isn't it

[DamienHurts]

Not to be that person, but with all due respect, Egohan said that he never saw or talked to Liam after Liam saying he was going to try out for X factor again, so he has no idea what kind of person Liam really turned into as an adult in his private life.

[darrentonks]

He's happy to speak to the media about him though

[patrickmcdonagh]

Oh be quiet millions of people feel alone and are actually alone

[ruthcollins]

Never heard of Payne nor Quigg, didn't rate the boy band. Can't even remember any songs! OTT IMO

[DavidMeikle-eifr]

Thousands of people, young and old, rich and poor, famous and anonymous suffer from mental health issues and addictions. It's a growing problem that needs addressing or it will become an epidemic that will be impossible to stop

[kirstenwright]

Real nasty comments on here. Let's hope your lives r so bloody great. Stop victim blaming and show him some ram respect nasty people

[XOsubmariner]

TalkTV always get the biggest stars on for an interview

[Joeblogs]

[spidernerds]

[Karmapolice]

Very sad he died and heart goes out to his family and his wee boy but lets get real.he was in a shitty boyband.this isnt losing a musical genius like prince or george micheal.
