Liam tragically died in October

His death came just days after girlfriend Kate, 25, returned home to the US following their trip together.

Devastated Kate has posted about dealing with grief at Christmas time to her fans.

Taking to Instagram, she said: “As the holidays are here, I realize it is a time for happiness and joy, but it is also a time of sadness and grief for so many.

“Be gentle with those around you this time of year, as the holidays can feel different for everyone.”

She continued: “Sending all my love to those carrying grief this holiday. I hope the seasons bring you comfort and peace.

“Wishing everyone a love-filled and healthy holiday season this year.”

Kate recently shared her new tattoo with fans as a tribute to Liam, which is on her middle and index fingers.

Its design features an angel wing on each digit, with Kate posting the snap along with a love heart.

Meanwhile, last week it was reported that a close friend of tragic Liam has refused to answer questions over his death.
