Louis Tomlinson has dodged questions about rumours he is starring in a brand new road trip show with Zayn Malik.
The singer, 33, was keeping tight-lipped during a radio appearance on Wednesday when he was asked about the reported show, which is set to air on Netflix.
It was revealed earlier this month how the former One Direction stars had signed a multi-million pound deal to travel the US whilst discussing their lives and reflect on memories from their days in the band.
Appearing on the Capital Evening Show with Jimmy Hill, Louis was hesitant to talk about the project that bosses are trying to keep under wraps.
Host Jimmy said: ‘I saw you and Zayn have been hanging out a little bit. I don’t know if this is confirmed but the rumour is you are making a road trip show or something for Netflix.’
Grinning, Louis replied: ‘I’ve heard the rumours, apparently so.’

As the DJ tried to push him into confirming the show was officially in the works, Louis said: ‘Well, I’ve heard the rumours same as you.
‘It’s not something I can really talk about too much. I know you’re desperate to talk about it and I understand that, but it’s not really something we can discuss much yet.’
Sources close to the production have revealed Zayn, 32, and Louis are likely to discuss the tragic death of their friend and band mate Liam Payne.
It is believed his death following a balcony fall in Buenos Aires in October last year brought the band, which also consists of Niall Horan and Harry Styles, close again.
An insider previously told The Sun: ‘This will be an absolutely huge show for Netflix and is guaranteed to whip 1D’s global army of fans into a frenzy.
‘Although the idea of British boyband members doing a show about travelling across America sounds random, most of them now have strong links Stateside.
‘And it’s likely to be a chance for some serious soul-searching and deep discussions about the incredible journey the group have already been on since they were formed on The X Factor 15 years ago.’
Zayn has lived in America permanently since 2018, while Louis devotes a large part of his time there thanks to his nine-year-old son with stylist Briana Jungwirth.

Louis and Zayn have become close again, and earlier this year Zayn gave a shoutout to Louis after he attended his Los Angeles concert at the Shrine Exposition Hall.
His relationship with his old bandmates became strained when he quit the band in March 2015.
One Direction found superstardom after appearing on the X Factor in 2010 and went on to sell a whopping 70M records worldwide.
They won almost 200 awards, including seven Brit Awards, four MTV Music Awards, six Billboard Music Awards, seven American Music Awards, and 28 Kids’ Choice Award.
Listen to The Capital Evening Show with Jimmy Hill on Monday to Thursday from 19:00 – 22:00 across the UK and on Global Player.
