Singer Louis pulled out of his headline performance of his new single Two Of Us on Friday night's Comic Relief following his younger sister Félicité's death.

The One Direction star, 27, was due to perform his new single which was written about his late mother Johannah, who died from cancer in 2016.

Félicité, 18, was found dead at her Earls Court, West London home from a suspected heart attack on Wednesday lunchtime, leaving Louis 'devastated'.
