Louis Tomlinson and girlfriend Eleanor Calder discuss getting pet monkey on Twitter


Louis Tomlinson and his girlfriend Eleanor Calder have been talking about adopting a monkey together.

University Of Manchester student Eleanor told her 1,405,414 Twitter followers earlier this week that she'd fallen in love with the animals following a trip to the zoo.

'I really want a squirrel monkey as a pet after seeing them at London zoo..SO cute!' Tweeted Eleanor, 20.

It seems Eleanor managed to persuade One Direction singer Louis, 20, that investing in a jungle creature would be a good idea.

But after doing some research, he decided he preferred a different species.

'@EleanorJCalder babe I've been looking into it . It's all about spider monkeys !!' he Tweeted.
