He grabbed us a silver and a bronze at gymnastics.
Yes, dad, that was the reason I was so intent on us watching the men's pommel horse final. Hope you aren't reading this...
And today - joy - comes the news that Louis may possibly be in this year's Strictly Come Dancing. And breathe.
He's an athlete, so he'll be good at moving. And he's used to wearing Lycra - though I'm not so sure he'll be loving the neon pink spangly variety he'll have to don if he joins Strictly.
But whatever, I'd fancy this man dressed in a chicken costume and stilettos.
I've got my fingers crossed for next weekend's opening show - please, please, please. Do it Louis! Do it, do it! Bow in to peer pressure!
Louis gyrating all over my screen will be the perfect winter warmer.
You know it makes sense, Lou.
