Louise Redknapp hasn’t been on a single date since splitting with her ex-husband Jamie Redknapp three years ago

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 has 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.”

Meanwhile, 47-year-old former football star Jamie also recently said he found his split from Louise to be difficult.

He said earlier this month: "It's never easy but you have to make sure the kids come first and foremost and you make sure that you're there to support them as much as possible."
