'It's not real!' An old video has emerged online of Louis at a gig earlier this year, throwing a baby doll off the stage after a fan chucked it to him
He then proceeded to throw the toy back into the audience before carrying on with the concert.
Unknown to the world at the time, Louis' former flame Briana Jungwirth was already pregnant with the star's child.
Louis was back to his normal work routine on Wednesday after it was revealed earlier this week that he is expecting a child with his friend and stylist Briana, also 23.
Just one day after the reports of his impending fatherhood came to light, he has both appeared on stage, and has also broken his Twitter silence.

From the west coast of the US, he wrote: 'Amazing show ! Thank you for the support !!'
The devoted and often-emotional fans have met the shock baby news with a mix of emotions, but mostly joy, as evidenced by their slew of hilarious memes posted online in the wake of the news, which was revealed on Tuesday.

Outside the Seattle gig - which is one of many dates on the Steal My Girl hitmakers' On The Road Again tour - fans also showed their backing by setting up toy donation bins for Louis and Briana, while others held up supportive posters.
Louis and Briana, a close friend of his, are set to become parents early in 2016 following their brief romance in May.
At the time, the pair were spotted on a series of nightclub dates in Los Angeles.

It is believed Briana is around 11 weeks pregnant and Louis has accompanied her to medical visits regarding the baby.
The MailOnline revealed exclusively how Louis's mother Johannah Deakin – who has seven children including Louis – met Californian stylist Briana Jungwirth earlier this month.
Briana lives with her mother, Tammi Clark and stepfather Brett Clark in Calabasas, California.
Deakin traveled with her husband, Dan, to California and both sets of parents attended Briana's most recent ob-gyn appointment in Los Angeles.
They all saw the ultrasound together and heard the baby's heart beat for the first time.
While a mutual friend of the pair insists that while Louis and the stylist aren't in a relationship, the singer will be a 'hands-on dad' when their baby arrives early next year.
The pair were introduced through mutual friends a few months ago following Louis' split from his long-term girlfriend Eleanor Calder in March.

New arrival: According to a mutual friend, the couple's baby is due early next year. The pair are pictured holding hands at Snoop Dogg's album release party on 12 May
'Louis is happy and very excited about becoming a dad and he thinks Briana will be an amazing mother. It was a surprise at first, but he and Briana are very, very close friends and this has brought them even closer,' the source has told People.
'They are both really happy and although they aren't in a relationship, their friendship is extremely strong and they are both really excited about the baby. It's early days and Briana and the baby's health are the most important things right now,' adds the friend.
A representative for Louis had 'no comment' on the report when contacted by MailOnline.
Louis was seen holding hands with the American beauty as he left the Snoop Dogg album release party on 12 May in Los Angeles.

A source told The Mirror at the time of their relationship: 'Louis is mainly in LA to work on 1D's new album but he is also making sure he is having plenty of fun.
'His friend gets on with her friend, so they've all been hanging out together. He is young and single, so why not?'
The pair were pictured on a night out at The Argyle in California in early May before another night of partying days later at Project L.A. in Los Angeles.
Louis and the pretty stylist, who is said to be 'a very private' person, were also seen leaving Snoop Dogg's CD release bash in West Hollywood a few days later holding hands in the back of their ride home.

Louis, who has spent much of his recent time off from the band in LA, is reportedly already making plans ahead of the birth, and has been on the hunt for properties near Briana in California.
According to The Sun, Briana is around 11 weeks pregnant and Louis has been by her side every step of the way, flying to LA to join her for the baby scan.
The Doncaster-born star is said to be 'really excited' about the news and is being 'protective' of his former flame, who he has remained great friends with.
An insider told the paper: 'It was obviously a surprise but they are both really happy. Louis really cares about Briana and thinks she will be a great mum. Their friendship has got even stronger through this.'
News of the pregnancy comes just two weeks after Louis was pictured cosying up to model Tamara Bell at Glastonbury.
