‘Love you’: Louis pays tribute to his mum after ‘hard’ X Factor debut

by

Twitter was abuzz with love for Louis Tomlinson following his incredibly brave performance on last night’s X Factor, and he has paid tribute to fans as well as his beloved mum Johannah.

Taking to Twitter to reflect on his performance of Just Hold On, just days after Johannah’s untimely passing, he admitted he was ‘feeling the love’.

“That was harder than I ever imagined. I want to thank everyone around me and all of the amazing fans out there that made that so special!” tweeted Louis.

The former One Direction star, who was supported by Liam, Niall and Harry on the night, added: “Feeling so much love around me and my family. Mum would have been so f***king proud (sorry for swearing, mum). Love you!”

The dad-of-one also extended special thanks to his collaborator, Steve Aoki, who was there to hug Louis during Simon Cowell’s emotional tribute.

“Steve, you have been such a rock and inspiration throughout this. Pure talent and a real gent!” he added.

After the show, Louis was joined by the One Direction boys along with sister Lottie and step-dad Dan, for post-show drinks in a nearby bar.
