They added: “Louis and his mates called 911 and made sure to stay with the woman until help arrived.” He obviously has a huge heart. Good for him.’

Lewis is currently on hiatus from music and taking time out at his London home after being forced to cancel his Glastonbury gig.

During his set, Lewis was visibly twitching and the crowd eventually took over as they belted out his song as he looked on in awe.

In a statement, Lewis said: “The fact that this probably won’t come as a surprise doesn’t make it any easier to write, but I’m very sorry to inform you that I will be taking a break from touring for the foreseeable future.

“I used to be able to enjoy every second of shows like his and hope that three weeks would see me through.”

“But the truth is, I’m still learning to adapt to the impact of my Tourette’s.”

“It became apparent on Saturday that I need to spend a lot more time getting my mental and physical health back in order so that I can continue to do what I love for a long time to come.”
