Louis Tomlinson is set to follow Simon Cowell into the entertainment business.

The 23-year-old singer, who stars in One Direction alongside bandmates Harry Styles, Liam Payne, Zayn Malik and Niall Horan, has set up a new company called 78 Productions Limited and has started following unsigned bands on Twitter, prompting speculation he is on the lookout for new talent.

One Direction star Louis Tomlinson making plans to follow Simon Cowell into the entertainment business.

A music industry source told The Sun newspaper: "Louis spent a lot of time backstage at The X Factor last year, partly so he could spend time with Simon and get to know how the industry works."

Louis and bandmate Liam, 21, spotted the potential of fellow boyband 5 Seconds of Summer and invited them to support 1D on tour and now all of 1D now own a stake in the Brit nominated 5SOS.

Earlier this month, meanwhile, One Direction confirmed they have started recording their next album.

The future of the five-piece band has been the source of much speculation in recent months, but they have now headed into the studio to begin work on their fifth record.

A source revealed: "There has been a bit of a question about the timing of the fifth album but there was never any doubt it would be released, despite the ridiculous speculation."
