Louis Theroux has a new hobby - and everyone's loving it

Louis Theroux is best known for his investigative documentaries and his interviews with some of the world's most dangerous and interesting people are always fascinating.

But it seems as of late, he's been trying his hand at a new hobby - and fans can't get enough.

Louis has been seen sharing his latest food creation on his Instagram with his 179k followers and people are loving it.

So far, Louis' uploaded pictures of two vegetarian meals - firstly a lasagne, then a shepherds pie.

But what people love the most about Louis' new hobby is that the photos he shares, better resemble those rustic home-cooked meal your nan makes rather than a michelin star dish.

The first dish he shared was the lasagne, which he said was: "A lot of trouble for something that tasted OK but not AMAZING."

Then he shared a photo of what he called his "latest culinary disappointment" - a vegetarian shepherds pie with lentils and sweet potato.

Although he didn't have any vegetable stock, he made the best of a bad situation, and decided to make his own stock type liquid.

He said: "I didn’t have vegetable stock so I found some old dried mushrooms and soaked them and used the juice (and the mushrooms)."

The innovative idea, however, did not go to plan, since Louis said it "tasted weird".

But in a bid to fix his mistake he doused it with ketchup and it was... good to go?

Despite receiving a number of recipes from his fans for veggie shepherds pies, one person wasn't so convinced, saying: "Louis Theroux-it-out!!"

And another was an avid mushroom hater: "Mushrooms are the devil. That was your mistake."

Recently he has been confirmed as one of the stars in the line up for Channel 4's, The Great British Bake Off: Stand Up To Cancer special.
