And we can reveal that the couple will jet off on a beach break next week, without their two young sons to make it more romantic.

A pal said: “It’s business as usual as far as they’re concerned. They’re going on a beach holiday with friends soon, wh which has been planned for a long time while the kids are staying at home. home.” And yesterday the coup couple – forced to de deny Louise’s stint o on Strictly had put their marriage under strain – joined family memb members to celebrate Jamie Jamie’s mum Sandra’s 70th birthday at a bash hosted at brotb r o t h e r Mark’s Dorset hom home.

Strictly has become synonymous with break-ups after Good Morning Britain’s Susanna Reid, 46, and newsreader Natasha Kaplinsky, 44, split from their partners. Rugby champ Ben Cohen, 38, moved in with partner Kristina Rihanoff, 39, and they have since had a baby girl.

Louise and partner Kevin Clifton came second to BBC presenter Ore Oduba, 31, and she is now being tipped for a career in the West End.

The former Eternal singer said recently: “When you love something and you’re not able to do it at the level you’ve done it at it’s really tough. You can park it a little bit, fill your life with other things like your family, friends, but the love for what you’re doing never goes away.”
