Louis added: “Briefly went pale and had to lie down.

“Family not impressed by my lack of stoicism. Me too frankly.”

“Still haven’t found the missing piece of finger.”

Louis recently made a veggie lasagne and was all smiles until he tasted the dish

The pancakes are just one of Louis’ edible masterpieces having previously rustled up a veg lasagne, but after tasting his pasta masterpiece he was left disappointed.

He explained that he “had a couple of drinks when I made it” and resulted in him “f**king up one or two of the steps”.

We have high hope for Louis’ perfect lasagne dream.
