Louis Tomlinson feels "so in love" with Zara McDermott.

The 33-year-old singer has opened up about his relationship with the former Love Island star, admitting she has been a huge inspiration for music on his upcoming album How Did I Get Here?.

Speaking on Steven Bartlett's The Diary Of A CEO podcast, he said: "I'm a deeply, deeply romantic person.

"It's also easy to be romantic when you are a creative... I really struggle to write in a fictional sense, I really struggle.

"For me, I have to have been living it, it has to be real to me.

"So, if I wasn't feeling so good, like right now, I wasn't feeling so in love... the record probably would have a slightly different feel to it."

Louis admitted dating Zara - who split from TV and radio presenter Sam Thompson last year - has given him a "new sense of happiness, and purpose, and fulfilment".

He added: "One thing I was thinking about with this record, my intention is just to maybe feel good.

"I know that's a really cliché and obvious thing to say, but I'm not sure some of my other music did that.

"It made you feel, it was honest, it was painful at times, but it didn't feel good.

"So, I think now I've got this almost new sense of life, a new sense of happiness, and purpose, and fulfilment, all those things."
