Louise Redknapp reportedly considering a Jamie reconciliation

Strictly star is "starting to wobble"

For the last few months, it’s looked like Louise and Jamie Redknapp’s marriage was doomed.

Ever since former Eternal singer Louise, 43, competed on Strictly last year, things haven’t seemed right between the showbiz couple.

Louise seemed to have found a new lease of life, enjoying girly outings with her new bessie, Strictly co-star Daisy Lowe, and moving out of the Redknapps’ mansion in Surrey. There were even reports that Louise wanted a divorce by Christmas.

However, according to Now magazine, the star is “seriously wavering”, paving the way for a sensational reconciliation.

A source revealed: “Louise has started to wobble and really misses Jamie and her family.

“It’s all been a hard call for her, and there have been times when she’s felt stronger and times she felt weaker about being apart from Jamie. And now she’s seriously wavering on her decision.”

The couple’s problems reportedly began following Louise’s time on Strictly, which saw her and professional partner Kevin Clifton finish runners-up to Ore Oduba and Joanne Clifton.

Following the series, the singer admitted that model Daisy, 28, had brought her out of her shell during their time on the show.

She told Stella magazine: “She kept on at me to wear something sexy, and by week three I was in a leotard and tights not feeling self-conscious at all. I could feel myself changing week by week.

“Sometimes, I felt like crying because deep down inside me this voice was screaming: ‘This is what I’ve been missing!’”

Last month, Louise – who has two sons with Jamie – even found herself the subject of rumours that she was romantically involved with Daisy.

Daisy told her Femme podcast: “I’m aware of all the lesbian hints. It actually makes me laugh.

“People find it strange we are friends. Why? She’s an amazing, warm, honest woman. I’m proud of her. This is what women should do, support each other.”

And now it seems like Louise might be ready to get back together with the man she’s been married to for nearly 20 years.

It was never going to be easy to divorce Jamie. During the couple’s most turbulent times, Louise told Stella magazine: “It’s so hard because I love him. He’s an amazing man and we’ve had 20 good years together.

“I know he’s trying to understand that I do need to do this.”
