Louise Redknapp looks partied out after fun night in Liverpool for 47th birthday

Birthday girl Louise Redknapp couldn't keep her eyes off her phone on Saturday night.

The star kept her head down in a taxi home following a night out in Liverpool, with her eyes firmly glued to her mobile's screen.

The musical theatre star had been celebrating her birthday in Red Door with some of her castmates prior to being pictured in her cab home.

Louise, 47, took to her Instagram Stories over the weekend to share some highlights of her fun night out with her 9 to 5 co-stars.

The touring production of Dolly Parton's rip-roaring musical had stopped off in Merseyside to perform at the Liverpool Empire earlier this week.

Mum-of-two Louise, who plays Violet in the show, was keen to celebrate both her birthday, that was officially on November 4, and the end of the musical's Liverpool leg on Saturday night.

Sharing some snippets on Sunday afternoon from the night before, the former Strictly Come Dancing thanked and tagged her co-stars in a series of Instagram Stories.

"Thank you to all my lovely cast in @9to5themusicialuk for a fab birthday celebration," the star wrote to 723,000 followers.

The singer also gave Liverpool bar venue Red Door a shout out for hosting the special occasion for her and her colleagues.

Louise turned 47 on Thursday, with her eldest son Charley Redknapp marking his mum's special day on Instagram.

The star reposted her child's sweet birthday tribute onto her own Instagram Stories as she celebrated online.

Paying tribute to his mum, Charley wished her a happy birthday in the caption and wrote "I love you."

Louise shares both of her children with ex-husband Jamie Redknapp, who recently married his pregnant fiancée Frida Andersson in an intimate ceremony in London.

One-time golden couple Jamie and Louise split in 2017, shortly after the singer's stint on Strictly Come Dancing.

It was reported last month that Louise had "mixed emotions" about seeing her former husband remarry.

"It's very mixed emotions for her, it's difficult because she's spoken quite openly about her regret," a source told OK! magazine following Jamie's October wedding.

"She's blamed Strictly quite a lot but, unfortunately, you can't turn the clock back."

The insider also claimed that Louise was only made aware of the nuptials due to the fact Jamie wanted their two sons - Charley, 17, and Beau, 12 - to "walk in with him" as he became a married man again at Kensington and Chelsea Register Office.

It was reported in the summer that Louise had been spotted on a series of dates - despite previously saying she didn't "see love in [her] future.

Speaking to Closer magazine in 2020, the mum-of-two said: "I don’t think I’m ever going to be able to have a boyfriend because, first of all, the 16-year-old is like [Charley, her son], ‘Well, how they’re going to get past me?’"
