Johannah, who would have been 44 today, sadly died in December after being diagnosed with leukaemia. The tributes come just a day before Mother's Day.
Louis posted to his 24.3 million followers on Twitter ‘Happy Birthday Mum, I love you x’
Lottie Tomlinson also posted a selfie with her mum with the caption ‘Happy Birthday Mum miss you and love you forever[sic]’
