Sis, mum grief ‘gave strength’

- ■ by ANDREW JAMESON andrew.jameson@dailystar.co.uk

HEARTBROKE­N 1D star Louis Tomlinson has revealed he hit “rock bottom” after losing his mum and sister but came out stronger.

Louis said: “I feel like, whatever my career’s going to throw in front of me, it’s going to be nothing as big or as emotionall­y heavy as that.

“So, weirdly, I’ve turned something that’s really dark into something that empowers me, makes me stronger.

“That whole dark side I’ve gone through, it sounds stupid to say, but it gives me strength everywhere else in my life, because that’s the darkest s**t that I’m going to have to deal with.”

His mum Johannah

Deakin died of cancer aged 43 in December 2016 before his sister Félicité died at just 18 following a drugs binge in March.

She accidental­ly overdosed on cocaine, an anxiety drug and painkiller­s.

The tragic teen had struggled to cope with the loss of her mother from leukaemia and got hooked on drugs.

Louis tried to help and she had been admitted to rehab during her battle.

But the boyband superstar says he does not want sympathy because “there’s no time for me to be sat feeling sorry for myself”.

Louis said his fans have helped him.

He added: “I felt their love and support. I remember really clearly when I lost my mum, that support was mad.” A £310MILLION heiress spat in an officer’s face and kicked another policeman after they were called to her flat, a court heard.

Chloe Pidgley, 26, granddaugh­ter of Berkeley Group founder Tony Pidgley, appeared unrepresen­ted at City of London Magistrate­s’ Court yesterday after her father refused to pay for her lawyers.

She denies two counts of assaulting Pcs Calum Jackson and Jake Harris in Earl’s Court, west London on March 29.

The trial was halted after Ms Pidgley was granted an adjournmen­t.
