On the tweets and messages he receives, he revealed: "I either get ones that are super normal, or ones that are like ‘OMG, it’s Louis!’ and then there's like a picture of his baby and I'm next to it and it said - 'This is #Freddie now – how old does this make you feel?'

"It’s so funny, but I'm having lots of fun with it."
