    Louise Redknapp is "struggling" in lockdown

    The 46-year-old singer took to Instagram to tell her followers that she is finding things tough at the moment amid the Covid-19 pandemic and the restrictions imposed by the UK government but she insisted she will "stay strong"


    She wrote: "I’m definitely struggling at the moment so just wanted to say let’s all try and stick together, stay strong, stay positive and please remember you’re not alone there is always someone to talk to! Lots of love xxx."

    Louise divorced Jamie Redknapp in 2017 after almost two decades of marriage, and previously admitted she hasn’t even entertained the thought of dating someone new, because her sons - Charley, 16, and Beau, 11 - aren’t keen on the idea.

    She said: “I don’t think I’m ever going to be able to have a boyfriend because, first of all, the 16-year-old is like, ‘Well, how they’re going to get past me?’

    “Sometimes I go, ‘How would you feel if I went on a date?’ He’s like, ‘I don’t want to talk about it’.

    “It’s not looking positive for me when it comes to love life.

    “Still haven’t been on a date! Lockdown is not helping me in the dating world.”

    And Louise admitted she still “struggles on a daily basis” with emotions from the fallout of her split, and doesn’t think it will “ever get easier” for her to cope with her divorce.

    She told The Sun newspaper: “I’m by no means in this amazing place; if I said I was, I’d be lying.

    “I’ve still have so many struggles on a daily basis because I don’t know if someone ever gets over getting divorced after 20 years.

    “I don’t think that will ever get easier for someone like me.

    “I don’t want to feel hurt, I don’t want to feel worried about everyone I know and love, I don’t want to worry that everything I do will have a negative effect.”

    Jamie is now dating Swedish model Frida Andersson-Lourie.
