Ex Jamie is still my best friend

Louise is ‘all good’ after split

LOUISE Redknapp insists her exhubby Jamie is still her best friend after their “really tough” split. The singer, 44, and football pundit, 45, called time on their 19-year marriage in 2017 – and when she filed for divorce blamed the former Liverpool player’s “unreasonable behaviour”. But Louise said: “He’s my best friend. It’s been really tough but things happen and yeah, I saw him yesterday and it was all good. “We had school meetings and stuff, like you do, so all good.” The 2016 Strictly runner-up, who has sons Charley, 14, and Beau, 10, with Jamie, also told Heart Breakfast of how her boys would watch Jamie’s dad Harry, 71, when he was in I’m A Celebrity last year. She said: “My kids were going crazy laughing! We all watched him every night.

“I don’t think they could believe it was him, he just doesn’t do things like that! So they’re like, ‘Is Pop really gonna eat that?’. The kids were superproud, that was our nightly viewing.”

Louise also said she will return to musical 9 To 5 in mid-March, having taken time out since she injured her wrist in a fall.

The former Eternal star said: “It was all going fine and then I fell over.

“You know, that typical mum thing, rushing out the car, and I fractured my wrist and I had 10 stitches in my chin, which meant I couldn’t rehearse for a week, which then meant I couldn’t go in for opening night. But I’m going back in, so by the middle of March, I’m back in the show.”
