But on tonight’s episode, E4 viewers saw an vulnerable side to Louis as he spoke about his upbringing.
He told agents Anna Williamson and Paul C. Brunson: “I didn’t really have no one. Everyone thought I was a bad kid.”
Louis then broke down in tears and covered his face with his hands.
Anna reassured him: “It’s alright Lou, take a moment, it’s okay.”

He explained: “No one just like… hugged me or like asked if I was alright, they just thought I was an angry kid.”
Anna told him: “You’ve never been bad, you’ve had bad things happen to you.”
He sobbed: “Actually like the softest kid. And like… literally was just broken, just angry because I thought that’s what protects me and my mum.”
“You fight because if you don’t do that you’re not going to survive,” Anna said.
He emotionally said: “I thought that’s my life, this is how you become a man.”
Anna explained: “That’s how you reacted, but I think whatever you have done to have navigated your way from being that child to now as an adult to have those moments to reframe these intense, justified feelings, that actually shows a very resilient young man who is choosing a different path.”
Louis co-star Jon Lee reacted to the heartbreaking scene and wrote: “He really is one of the sweetest guys. Love you mate.”
A second posted: “I never thought Louis Russell would have me sobbing in my bed.”
Meanwhile Olivia was joined by pal and Love Island alum Samie Elishi on tonight’s episode.
The reality star came clean about her on/off romance with Louis and dropped a huge bombshell.
Olivia told Samie: “I’ve not been completely honest, I’ve stayed over [with Louis] three times.
“We’ve actually just cuddled, intimate but it was cute.”
She then revealed that Louis sent her a text to cool things off, leaving Olivia upset and confused.
She said: “I feel like my whole experience has been distracted by Louis.
“I do really like him but I don’t want it to consume my whole experience at the agency.”
Samie gave Olivia some wise words saying: “Don’t let your boyfriend distract you from finding your husband.”
Just days ago Olivia was in floods of tears after Louis brutally rejected her.
The Love Island star, 30, instantly hit it off with Louis and even shared a kiss on their away trip in Ibiza.
But Olivia admitted that Louis has made “no consistent effort” to message or see her since they’ve returned.
Trying to gauge where to stood, Olivia sent Louis a text asking him on a date – but was brutally blanked when he didn’t reply.
She told the agents: “I pushed myself out of my comfort zone and I asked him out on a date.
“I messaged him and said ‘Do you want to go to Usher?’ and he didn’t reply.”
Dr Tara asked if she thought his behaviour was giving red flags and he was just playing a game, to which Olivia agreed.
An emotional Olivia said: “The more I tell myself I’m worthy and I deserve true love and I don’t deserve to be treated like that.”
She then broke down in tears and sobbed: “It’s so triggering for me… I’m sorry, I promised myself I wasn’t going to cry again.”
“I think I have just lost confidence and it’s just be building it again.
