Doncaster Council has told homegrown global pop sensation Louis Tomlinson to be prepared to read "exciting tweets about gritting and bin collections" after the authority revealed the star now follows them on Twitter.

Doncaster Council could barely contain its excitement after the One Direction star added the authority to the 3,700 plus accounts he follows on Twitter.

Tweeting a picture showing that Louis was now among its 12,600 followers, the Council's @MyDoncaster account tweeted: "Thanks for the follow @Louis_Tomlinson. Brace yourself for exciting tweets about gritting and bin collections!" along with a thumbs up emoji.
