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:
Defo wont be going on there again Haha! Love to all my fans for always having my back

Dan Walker apologised and asked the singer what had upset him:
Sorry you feel like that. It was nice to speak to you on #BBCBreakfast this morning.
Can I ask what you are upset about? https://t.co/MNMUyHGQuj— Dan Walker (@mrdanwalker) February 3, 2020
Louis responded:
I was upset that you continued to ask me about my grief. It goes without saying how hard it is to lose both people so close to me. The least I ask is that you respect my decision of not wanting to be asked in interviews about something so painfull.

I'm lucky enough to have a creative outlet for me to talk about grief this doesn't however give you the right to talk about it for gossip purposes.

Dan replied:
Hi Louis. We were asking you about the song on your new album about your mum. We know it’s painful which is why we didn’t dwell on it. No intention to upset you or be ‘gossipy’ about it at all. That’s not our style on #BBCBreakfast.

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."
