Louis, who won bronze and silver medals at the 2008, 2012 and 2016 Olympic games, has now taken up photography.

The star has his very own Instagram page to showcase his work.

His bio states: "Looking to shoot people, I also photoshop and touch up photos myself."

Meanwhile on his website, it states: "HEY I'm Louis!! I have an amazing girlfriend and I'm a father to a little girl Marley.

"I have 4 Olympic medals for gymnastics, I also got my hands on the strictly glitterball trophy. 

"So I'm fairly new to the photography game as it truly started with a passion for taking photos, but it also has organically turned into friends and family contacting me asking for portraits and still life shots to be done.

"So here we are with a website pitching myself and offering my services to those who like my work and are interested In getting some work done.

"I love doing outdoor portraits and still life photography.

"Always willing to shoot with you in your chosen location roughly located around Peterborough, Cambridge."

Back in 2018 Louis announced on Lorraine that he was retiring from gymnastics to star in the West End.

Two years later he revealed that he and girlfriend Charlie Bruce were expecting their first child, and welcomed their daughter into the world in February 2021.

Later that year he was crowned winner of The Masker Dancer - after dressing up as character Carwash.
