Lottie Tomlinson was just 12 when her half-brother Louis shot to fame with One Direction, but her life was soon turned upside down by the deaths of her mother and sister
At just 12 years of age, when Lottie's half-brother Louis Tomlinson became an international sensation with One Direction , it looked like she was set for a life of glamour. She even joined the band's entourage as a makeup artist after finishing school, touring the world in first-class luxury by 2015.
Lottie had to deal with the heartbreaking death of her mom, Johannah Deakin, who succumbed to leukaemia in 2016, only seven months following after her diagnosis. Her parents had separated when she was 13, and with no ties to her biological father, Lottie chose to return home to Doncaster. Recalling her decision to move back, Lottie expressed that she had no doubts: "I needed to be there for the little ones. It was just an instinct. And we've all got that in us because of how my mum brought us up. We're all very maternal and we all care about each other so much. My work was important to me but nothing's more important than your family and they needed me," reports the Mirror.
The grief intensified when her sister Felicite tragically passed away at 18 from an accidental overdose in March 2019. Lottie recalled the devastating moment: "Over and over again, I kept screaming, 'No, my baby sister. No!"
