Meanwhile, it was reported that Louise Redknapp was ‘struggling’ following her ex-husband Jamie’s wedding to Frida. A source close to the star said she was experiencing very ‘mixed emotions’.

Louise also reportedly hadn’t had time to prepare for Jamie’s wedding as her ex-husband had wanted to marry Frida before Raphael was born.
