New dad Louis Tomlinson is "learning very quickly on his feet"

"I see him changing Freddie and feeding Freddie, like we all do and all have done. But it's a new phenomenon for Louis and he's learning very quickly on his feet. "I mean, the baby's very young, he's only two months old. So there are no real baby stories, apart from agaga, agoogoo. "Len said it helps that One Direction are on an extended break, meaning Louis has been able to focus on fatherhood. But living in LA, a town full of celebrities, he still attracts attention.

"Some people were walking the other way and I heard them say 'I think that was Louis out of One Direction'. And I was a bit behind them, and I said 'Yeah, you’re right!'"Len also had some reassuring words for fans worried about One Direction's current hiatus. Insisting that Louis, Harry Styles, Niall Horan and Liam Payne will reunite, he quipped: "They will come back. Even if it’s only to make a lot more money."
