Louis was raised in Doncaster alongside his four maternal half-sisters, by their mother Johannah ‘Jay’ Poulston, who split from Louis’ father Troy Austin when he was still a toddler. Johannah then married Mark Tomlinson, and Louis took his surname. He also has a paternal half-sister. Louis studied at Hayfield School, before moving on to Hall Cross School. During his time there, he worked various jobs to earn money, and then appeared in the drama series “Fat Friends”. This motivated Louis to enroll at an acting school, and he played supporting characters in the crime drama movie “If I Had You”, and the drama series “Waterloo Road”.
