She told her fellow campmates: "I was about 13 when this story started…I used to go to a particular beach in Cornwall at a particular time of the year. There was this guy on the beach that I was obsessed with. He was much older than me. Five years older than me, but I didn't know that at the time.
"He played the guitar, had a surfboard, was really cool… I used to call him the guy in the Kinks T-shirt."
She continued: "Forward wind many years later. There's a girl called Ali, she's got two older brothers…"

"Forward a few more years, I'm 28 at this stage. Ali and I are having a conversation we'd never had before about going on holiday to the beach.. and I was like, 'Oh, that's the beach I used to go to.' Then I'm like, 'Did one of your brothers used to wear a Kinks t-shirt?' She was like, 'How do you know that?' 'I was in love with him when I was 13!'"

Louise explained that she was in a serious relationship at the time before describing the first time she properly met her husband. She said: "So I see him at Ali's next party and I bounce up to him and say, 'It's so funny, I must tell you, I used to be in love with you when I was 13,' and before I walk off, he says, deadpan: 'When you chuck your boyfriend, give me a call.'"
She continued: "So I did, I chucked my boyfriend. Less than a year later we got married."
