The release of the previously archived footage follows the reveal of Harry Styles' full 2010 audition, which made headlines earlier this month.

This led many to believe that it's only a matter of time until fellow 1D boys; Zayn Malik, Niall Horan and Liam Payne get the same treatment!

In the freshly dropped video, an 18-year-old Louis sweetly announced to the audience: "I love singing and this means so much to me, I just want to give it my best."

The One Direction star to be then delivered a rendition of the 2007 track 'Elvis Ain't Dead' by Scouting for Girls in a performance that never initially made it to air all those years ago...

In the new footage, young Tomlinson shared with the judges' panel that he wishes to have a career similar to British singer-songwriter James Morrison.

He sang his heart out before the infamously hard-to-impress Simon Cowell raised his hand and asked Louis to try out another song.

The 'Walls' singer then swiftly moved into a performance of 2000s bop 'Hey There Delilah' by Plain White T's, with fans recognising the audition clip we all know and love from the original episode that aired over a decade ago!

In the clip, Louis sweetly admitted to the crowd: "I'm so nervous."

Cowell explained his decision to give the youngster another chance: "Look, you know what, you're actually doing well, which is why we asked you to do a second song, right?

"So this is a better song for you," the TV personality said.
