Louise's happy photo comes after a turbulent few months for the star, which has seen her separate from husband Jamie. In a recent interview with Stella Magazine, the mum-of-two confirmed the couple are living apart as she re-evaluates her life. "He's an amazing man and we've had 20 good years together," she said. "I know he's trying to understand that I do need to do this." Louise revealed that appearing on last year's Strictly Come Dancing and striking up a friendship with model Daisy Lowe gave her a confidence boost to restart her performing career.
