Lou Teasdale

So I was actually pregnant when I met them and so I wanted boys and they were really nurturing with me and I felt like they would just look after me and I just wanted to work with them.

I didn't realise at the time how big they would be.

I actually thought it would be an easier gig than one of the big female acts where it's sort of harder work, you've got to carry a lot more kit around for one of the girls or whatever.

So I just thought, they're cool.

They're really easygoing.

They're nice to me.

I'm going to stick with that.

And they just got bigger and bigger and bigger.

Wow.

So, no, I just worked for them on my own.

But later on in the tour, maybe four years later, Louis from One Direction, his younger sister, her mum called me up and was like, you know,

She hasn't got into sixth form and she wants to do what you do.

So she's coming to be your assistant and I didn't really have much say.

But she ended up being my assistant and actually she was like a little grafter and...

She ended up teaching me so much because the world of social media was taking over the beauty industry.

And she was 16, so she knew all of that.

And I just wouldn't have been across the social media world like I was so early on if it wasn't for her.

And she taught me a lot.

that ended up making me secure in my career even after One Direction had finished because I ended up going into that side of things because of her.

Yes.
