"I actually can't remember, I can't remember what he was doing," Mike replied, before adding: "He's such a good character he is, Louis."

Mike's hilarious posts of him wearing Zara's hats earned him thousands of new Instagram followers

"The hat thing has now become a thing, I see," James told Mike, to which he joked: "Maybe I need to take it a step further and do the full dress."
