Louis Tomlinson was reportedly sober despite hotel clash reports.

Louis Tomlinson made headlines on Thursday after news broke out that he was removed from Malmaison Hotel in Newcastle for trashing in. But according to another source the One Direction member just passed by the hotel to drop off his sister and a friend. The source also insisted that Louis was not drunk at that time amid reports.

"Louis definitely didn't go back to that hotel," a source said to Yahoo.com. "We met him (outside the Malmaison) at 3.45am, he dropped (his sister) Lottie and her friend off and then came back out just as happy at 4am. He was totally fine, happy, and calm, also not as drunk as it says in the article. He then left in a van."

It all comes after The Sun Newspaper reported that the singer was escorted to the door by a security guard at around 4 am after making a drunken scene.

Earlier that night, he was said to be at a student club. He was seen talking to several fans while drinking. Many fans were reportedly lined up, trying to buy him drinks. After chatting and drinking he reportedly went back to the hotel, but hotel's security team was reportedly furious after he was seen "clutching a bottle of booze".

Then the 1D member reportedly "ran out of the hotel carrying all of his clothes and another bottle of booze." It has then claimed that a car drove him to the band's tour bus, where he reportedly spent the night.

One Direction members haven't released any comments yet about the news but a spokesperson for the Malmaison only told Newsbeat that a guest was removed but they refused to release further details.

Meanwhile, the band is preparing for the release of their new album, 'Made in the AM', which is due in Nov 15.
