Louis Tomlinson reveals favourite TV shows and daily tuna sandwiches

He has a net worth of £60 million and has performed in sold out stadiums around the world. 

Yet Louis Tomlinson revealed he hasn’t lost his humble Yorkshire roots as he detailed a typical day in his life for The Sunday Times. 

The singer, 30, seemed to derive most of his pleasures from food, sharing his love for having a daily tuna sandwich for lunch and a fry up in the morning (although this often becomes a bowl of cereal if he’s feeling ‘lazy’).

Admitting that he ‘rates’ Bargain Hunt, he explained: ‘I’m very good at just watching s**t TV all day, but if I’m trying to be productive I like to inspire myself by watching interviews with other artists I admire, like Arctic Monkeys or Liam Gallagher. It’s dead interesting hearing the way they think.’ 

While he’s holding out for a celebrity special of the BBC One’s antiques selling show he spends his days with son Freddie, six, who he shares with ex Briana Jungwirth. 

As Briana, 30, and Freddie live in Los Angeles, Louis ensures he spends as much time as possible in the States in order to spend quality time with his son.

Revealing that being a father ‘changed him’, he recalled: ‘After my LA gig he came on stage and played the drums, which he loved. I think he assumes that it’s normal for everyone’s dad to tour the world performing.’ 

Louis doesn’t afford Freddie all the perks of having a superstar father, however, as with no live-in chef on hand, the youngster has to make do with Louis’ ‘s**t’ cooking. 

While it may be to the singer’s taste, he admitted the same can’t be said for his son.

Louis revealed: ‘For lunch, I love a tuna sandwich with salad cream — not mayo — and some prawn cocktail crisps on the side. I’m a s**t cook. I’ve survived on microwave meals for years, but I do feel sorry for my son — he must be sick to death of cheesy pasta.’

Louis first found fame when One Direction – also consisting of Harry Styles, Zayn Malik, Niall Horan and Liam Payne – was formed on The X Factor in 2010 and went on to become one of the most successful boybands ever.  

Zayn left the group in early 2015 with the remaining four releasing another album – Made In The A.M. – before they went their separate ways.

While the boys have all had success as solo artists, Louis recently shared his hopes that a One Direction reunion will happen ‘one day’. 

Speaking about their success on ITV’s Lorraine last month, he mused: ‘It’s easier to see now from the outside looking in, it was a crazy time but amazing to go through with other people. It would have been scary to go through it alone at that age.’ 

He also detailed his struggles recording his new album and how it’s different to his debut album, revealing: ‘It was a bit of a process on my first record – there was an element of trial and error.

‘Obviously coming out of a band the size of One Direction, it takes time to find yourself, musically, but I really think I’ve found it on this album and this single.’
