"The least I ask is that you respect my decision of not wanting to be asked in interviews about something so painful."

Louis Tomlinson claims he won't do an interview on BBC Breakfast again after his live appearance on the show this morning.

Louis is currently on the promo trail for his debut solo album, 'Walls.'

The former One Direction member was unhappy that presenters Louise Minchin and Dan Walker quizzed him about his personal life, including his "spat" with fellow singer Zayn Malik.

Tomlison was particularly annoyed about being asked about his mother and sister's deaths.

At one stage, Dan Walker asked: "Do you feel that at some stage, 'I've put too much of [myself] in there', or is that part of helping you in writing that way, about the loss of your mother and your sister and other things?"

Louis's mother Johanna lost her battle with Leukaemia in 2016, while his sister Félicité died last year.

After the show, Tomlinson tweeted to his followers:

A BBC spokesperson said: "We wanted to cover all aspects of Louis's life that have influenced his new album and feel the questioning was fair."
