Kelly Rowland and Liam Payne were spotted in high spirits on Saturday as they left a TV studio in Manchester where they began filming Nicole Scherzinger’s Building The Band.
The 43-year-old Dilemma singer put on a glamorous show on the first day of filming, wearing a Dior clutch and Celine sunglasses.
She teamed her expensive designer pieces with a crisp white shirt, black trousers and a pair of white and green Adidas sneakers.
For accessories, Kelly completed her look with a large white leather handbag and a number of rings.
Shortly after, One Direction star Liam, 31, was spotted in a much more casual look, wearing a casual white T-shirt, black cargo pants and a pair of black-and-white sneakers.

Kelly, Liam and Nicole are the judges of their new TV series Building The Band.
The Netflix show, hosted by Backstreet Boys star AJ McClean, will attract groups of talented singers from across the country.
Each artist enters the competition to find the perfect band members, based solely on musical compatibility, connection and merit.
The candidates have complete control over every step of the performance, but the jury is especially curious to see how well each singer performs under the pressure of lights, cameras, choreography and audience.
According to Netflix, viewers can expect “plenty of drama, artistry of the highest order and unforgettable performances.”
Executive producer Cat Lawson said: ‘Building The Band is a brave and daring undertaking for everyone involved, as we hand over the power to the singers themselves to form their own band, based on the chemistry they have with each other.
‘Can they, appearance aside, create a deeper connection with their bandmates? With limited bands there are tough decisions and heartbreaking moments along the way, but in the end the result is truly amazing, with bands forming that in my opinion are worthy of the biggest stage of all!’
Viewers can expect to see more guest judges appear on the show and a variety of challenges coming their way.

The official release date has not yet been announced, but the film is expected to air sometime in 2025.
While the judges are still searching for the UK’s next big band, they may already have been overtaken by another big TV show: The Voice.
Judge Will.i.am claimed he had beaten Simon Cowl to the title of UK’s biggest boyband after hitting out at the producer during an early screening of the show.
Earlier this year, Simon Cowell announced that he was looking for the next One Direction and he scoured the country for a new boy band.
The 64-year-old music mogul brought together Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson, Niall Horan, Liam and Zayn Malik of One Direction in 2010 on The X Factor, which went on to take the pop world by storm.
And now Will.i.am is claiming he’s beat him to it this year, as his British singing competition show, The Voice, returns for its 13th season.
He told MailOnline what the biggest difference is between himself and the Britain’s Got Talent judges and why he may have a better chance of success when it comes to finding the next big boy band.

When asked if he had found the UK’s next biggest boy band, Will.i.am seemed confident, confirming to MailOnline that he had. With a grin on his face, he said: ‘Yeah. And the difference between me and Simon is that I can write it and produce it.
“He’s looking for it so I can prepare it in the kitchen.”
In a clip filmed by MailOnline during an early screening of The Voice, Will.i.am seemed very confident about the singers he had chosen, saying he still remembers ‘winning’ this year’s show.
When asked what we can expect from him on the show, the Where Is The Love singer replied: ‘What you can expect from me is that I win this year.
‘There are things I remember, things I don’t remember, but I do remember winning.
When MailOnline asked his fellow judge, Sir Tom Jones, if they had found the next Taylor Swift, Tom said: ‘No. Who could beat Taylor Swift? There’s no one like her, she’s sensational.’
Will.i.am’s confidence comes just weeks after Simon spent weeks traveling the region in search of new talent.

But despite the many advertisements, the music mogul had to give up his search because he could not find enough potential auditionees.
Simon had plans to have the quest featured in a Netflix documentary called The Midas Touch, but was reportedly told to give it up and accept that “the era of boy band chart toppers is over.”
The Midas Touch was originally promoted with the idea of following Simon’s search for future stars, but the focus now shifts to Simon’s pop dream falling apart.
An insider from The Midas Touch told the Ny Breaking: ‘Simon has been told that the original idea behind the series needs to change.
Instead of the emphasis being on creating a boy band that can become hugely successful, the focus is now much more on him.
‘He’s frustrated with the auditions, where many singers turn up from bands that didn’t make it.
‘But perhaps more importantly, Simon has been told he must accept that the era of the chart-topping boy band may be over. It’s devastating for him.’
This year, the regular judges and Sir Tom are joined by McFly’s Tom Fletcher and Danny Jones and nineties pop icon LeAnne Rimes, after Ollie Murs was evicted from the show last year.
The Voice UK is a popular British television music competition that first aired on 24 March 2012.
