Louis Tomlinson updates fans this week

Louis Tomlinson has been updating fans about his progress as a judge on the UK version of The X Factor this week.

Taking to Twitter, he tweeted: "Now I’ve got my final 6 I’m proper excited for the next stage! #XFactor".

The former One Direction member has had a busy week undertaking his new role as a judge on the ITV show, often jumping onto Twitter to let his 32.9 million followers know how he's doing.

Earlier this week, he tweeted: "Long day today. BIG day tomorrow!"

On August 2, he then wrote: "Exciting day for me today! Looking forward to it!" 

It's been a busy year for Tomlinson, whose single Back To You featuring Bebe Rexha and Digital Farm Animals, not only received gold certification in January in the UK, but platinum status in June of this year in the US - meaning the track has sold over 1 million copies in the US alone. 

He has also changed management and marketing companies, and has been recording his new album.

Earlier this year, the music star also attended The NHS Heroes Awards 2018 in Britain to present an award, and was crowned King of Pop by MTV viewers in May.
