Singer Louise Redknapp has said that her day off isn’t a relaxing one thanks to ex-husband Jamie Redknapp!
Louise, who is currently starring in musical 9 to 5, revealed that her one day off from performing is filled up by taking their kids to rugby training because football pundit Jamie often works at the weekends.
Louise, who has sons Charley, 15, and Beau, 10, with the retired footballer, joked that she doesn’t get much downtime because she’s juggling eight shows a week at the Savoy Theatre in London with parenting duties.
Speaking on Virgin Radio’s Breakfast show today, the 44-year-old Eternal star explained that she looks forward to her one day off a week, but she doesn’t often get to relax.
She opened up to host Chris Evans about her busy life as a working mum.

When Chris asked her if she gets to go out on Saturday night, she replied: “We do go out, but Sunday morning is sport morning, I’m on the rugby pitch for four hours.
“Jamie works a lot on the weekend because he’s at the football.”
She added jovially: “My older one doesn’t even appreciate it he’s like, ‘Why are you here?'”
Jamie and Louise separated months after she starred on Strictly Come Dancing in 2016.

She added: “I would do it forever if it was just for me but I’ve got two boys and I look forward to having the summer with them. I see them every night but I get to be a stay-at-home mum for three months.”
