Louise explained that the shortage of HRT has left many women suffering from mental and physical side effects.
Explaining how she felt when she was going through the menopause, Louise said: “Because I wasn’t on HRT at the time, and actually I look back at the film that I did and I kind of feel sorry for that Louise.
“It looks to me like a different person because I was so anxious, I was so shaken up.”
Louise quit BBC Breakfast last year leaving her colleague Dan Walker with a new co-host.
Sally Nugent bagged the coveted role and was delighted to see Louise today.
Dan also looked pleased to see his former colleague and joked about her coming back to the show.

Realising his pal had made up her mind, Dan said: “It’s great to have you back.”
