Louis Tomlinson has refused to ever appear on BBC Breakfast ever again.
The former-One Direction star took issue with questions he was asked by show hosts Dan Walker and Louise Minchin, following an awkward segment which clearly left him feeling upset.
He is currently promoting his new album Walls, yet the presenters pressed him about his grief over the tragic loss of his mother, who died two years ago, his sister, who died last year, and his boy band past – including reported tensions between him and ex-bandmate Zayn Malik.
Never again! Louis Tomlinson has refused to ever appear on BBC Breakfast ever again
A BBC spokesperson defended the interview, telling MailOnline: ‘We wanted to cover all aspects of Louis’ life that have influenced his new album and feel the questioning was fair.’
Louis’ mother Johannah died of leukaemia in December 2016. His sister Félicité, 18, died last March after an accidental overdose.
Louis wrote the track Two Of Us about his mother. It appears on the album – his first solo record since breaking from One Direction.
Following the appearance, Louis took to Twitter to tweet: ‘Defo wont be going on there again Haha! Love to all my fans for always having my back.’

BBC Breakfast presenter Dan replied: ‘Sorry you feel like that. It was nice to speak to you on #BBCBreakfast this morning. Can I ask what you are upset about?’
To which Louis responded: ‘I was upset that you continued to ask me about my grief. It goes without saying how hard it is to lose both people so close to me. The least I ask is that you respect my decision of not wanting to be asked in interviews about something so painful.
‘I’m lucky enough to have a creative outlet for me to talk about grief this doesn’t however give you the right to talk about it for gossip purposes.’
He then tweeted: ‘Anyway f**k the negativity now. It’s been a siiiiick week.’
Dan continued to press the matter on Twitter, however, posting: ‘Hi Louis. We were asking you about the song on your new album about your mum. We know it’s painful which is why we didn’t dwell on it. No intention to upset you or be “gossipy” about it at all. That’s not our style on #BBCBreakfast.’
