Clarin, Argentina's biggest newspaper, first published the images alongside a report saying: "Damage and drugs in the hotel room Liam Payne was staying in in Buenos Aires."

Cops are yet to confirm what the substances found in the room are but are due to run tests on them shortly.

A smashed TV can also be seen in the room next to a half-drunk champagne glass.

Emergency services chief Alberto Crescenti said initial findings point towards him fracturing his skull.

A final 911 call from hotel staff on Wednesday revealed they needed "urgent assistance" from cops to help with a guest "behaving erratically".
