One Direction star Louis Tomlinson says that he is not like the stereotypical boyband member who likes to sleep around.

The singer is one of the few members of the group who have a girlfriend, with the 20-year-old in a relationship with Eleanor Calder.

Speaking to The Sun, Tomlinson admitted that when he joined the band he tried to reassure Calder's mother that he was a "good lad" and that he wouldn't cheat on her daughter. He said:

"I was worried about my reputation at first. I remember I sent Eleanor's mum a few text messages saying, 'Please don't judge me thinking I'm like the stereotypical boyband type who is going to go around and sleep with everything that moves'. I was trying to convince her I'm quite a good lad but I didn't really need to."

The 'One Thing' star said: "Her family are really cool actually and very understanding of the situation. It's important for me to treat a girlfriend with respect. My mum would be horrified if I behaved any differently - and I have sisters, and would hate for them to be treated badly by guys."
