One Direction singers Louis Tomlinson and Niall Horan have thrown their support behind X Factor 2015 hopeful Louisa Johnson.

The 17-year-old received a direct message from Tomlinson after the band performed on Sunday night’s results show.

Speaking to the Daily Mirror, Essex-born Louisa said: “Louis Tomlinson direct messaged me. He just said, ‘Good luck’. It was nice to have support.

“I replied, saying, ‘Thanks so much.’ He’s just a normal person.”

But despite attention from the singer, Louisa – who recently split from her boyfriend Ellis – said she is not attracted to him.

“He’s not really my type,” she revealed. “Which is a shame as ‘Lou and Lou’ has a nice ring to it.”

Horan also expressed his praise for the teen hopeful after they met backstage.

Speaking about her encounter with the Irish singer, she said: “He was saying, ‘Let your personality shine through’. Those two seem to be backing me, which is nice.”

Louisa has consistently impressed the judges with her performances and last weekend reduced her mentor Rita Ora to tears.

Following her rendition of Everybody's Free from Romeo & Juliet, Ora said: "I'm so happy that this came to life."

Cowell also heaped praise on Louisa, saying: "This really means something to you, doesn't it? You're not just in it to come second or third, you really want to win this.

"This is a performance you're going to be remembered for, I'm telling you."
