Louise Redknapp's huge career news after 'losing herself' in marriage to Jamie

Louise Redknapp has made a huge career announcement, with the former Eternal singer getting back to what she loves best.

The 47-year-old has previously said she found a new lease of life performing on Strictly Come Dancing in 2016, after years of "doing the mum thing".

Just months after she reached the finals of Strictly, Louise's marriage to Jamie crumbled.

She admitted in an emotional interview that her appearance on the show had made her re-evaluate her entire life.

Louise said she had grown tired of being a "Stepford wife", striving to always be the perfect wife and mum.

She added: "I have spent most of my life pleasing everyone else, worrying about being judged and thinking I should always do the right thing by staying at home, looking after my kids and my husband.

"I lost myself."

As Jamie's media career had bloomed, Louise admitted she had struggled with his success and missed being a performer.

Louise is currently starring in 9 to 5 The Musical.

She has today (Friday) announced she will go on a live tour next year - and that she is making new music.

Joining 90s band Steps, her first show will take place at Trentham Gardens in Staffordshire on September 2, 2022.

In a tweet, Louise said: "I’m so excited to announce the first of my live shows for 2022!

"I’ll be joining the fabulous @OfficialSteps at Trentham Live onFriday 2nd September!

"Come along and hear all the hits… and some new tracks"
