'It was a stupid and irresponsible thing to do': 1D's Liam Payne apologises after he is pictured on dangerously high roof ledge

One Direction singer Liam Payne has apologised to fans after he was pictured standing dangerously on a roof ledge 360 foot high.

With the lights of London behind him, he is just inches away the edge of the skyscraper block of flats.

'Stupid and irresponsible': Liam took to Twitter to apologise after the photo caused concern with fans

Taking to Twitter on Tuesday night, the pop star apologised for the image: 'You may have seen a photo of me today taken on top of a building. I regret being there and having a photo taken.
'It was a stupid and irresponsible thing to do. I am sorry, and do not endorse any fans trying to repeat this, as it is extremely dangerous.'
The photo was believed to have been taken over the weekend, when Liam entertained three old friends visiting from his hometown of Wolverhampton.
The foursome posted a series of photos of their weekend exploits on their respective Twitter feeds, including a night out at Funky Buddha club.

When the photo first appeared on Twitter on Sunday, worried fans took to the micro-blogging page, urging him 'don't jump' or wondering if he wanted to imitate his hero Batman.
One tweeted: 'That photo of @Real_Liam_Payneon that balcony really gave me a mini heart attack ... please don’t do that again!'
While another wrote: '@Real_Liam_ Payne should stop thinking he’s Batman, when he’s not ... Stop climbing on your balcony!'

Unfortunately for Liam, other images posted online by his friends, have led fans to deduct his address, so many have been waiting outside his apartment block to meet him.
The singer also tweeted on Tuesday he was unhappy about fans coming to his London home.
He wrote: 'I know my friends have tweeted a lot of pictures of my house the past few days but can people please stop coming and waiting outside.
'I'd just like to be able to walk outside as everyone does and enjoy time with my friends, not feel bad for not wanting to take a picture.
'Sorry if I've been rude to anyone but I've come to realise if I take one picture more people keep coming everyday xxx hope everyone's good.'
