Louise Redknapp was a ‘ super proud ‘ mum as she boasted about her son Beau’s GCSE results. Hundreds of thousands of students received their GCSE results this week, with more than a fifth (21.9%) of students who got their results being awarded a grade 7 (an A).
The 50-year-old pop singer is a proud mum-of-two, sharing sons Charley and Beau with ex-husband Jamie Redknapp, 52. Louise and Jamie tied the knot back in 1998 aboard the 130ft yacht Lady Tamara in Bermuda. Louise confessed to feeling like a “Stepford wife” at the time.
She stepped away from her music career to focus on family life and support her then-husband Jamie’s football career. But after her stint on Strictly Come Dancing, Louise realised she couldn’t return to just being a stay-at-home mum. Louise and Jamie subsequently split – with Jamie remarrying.
Now, the popstar is stepping back onto the music scene while still being a doting mother to her children. Here is a look into the sweet bond she shares with them…

Lindsay Lohan delighted fans with a surprise appearance at a screening of Freakier Friday at AMC Lincoln Square in New York City on Friday.
The 39-year-old actress, who recently reprised her role as Anna Coleman in the long-awaited sequel to Disney’s 2003 hit, looked stunning in a shimmery silver feather-embellished corset. She paired the glamorous top with white satin trousers and silver pointed heels.
The Mean Girls star seemed to be in high spirits as she greeted fans, posed for selfies, and shared a few laughs with the crowd.
In the original Freaky Friday flick Lohan starred opposite Jamie Lee Curtis, 66, telling the story of a mother and daughter who magically swap bodies, which forces them to navigate each other’s lives. Nearly two decades later, the duo have been reunited in the sequel, Freakier Friday, which continued the story.

Disney has been heavily promoting the film. Jamie Lee Curtis also got involved in keeping the buzz alive by posting a TikTok encouraging audiences to see the new movie.
Meanwhile, Lohan has gushed about the close bond she formed with her co-star Julia Butters, who plays Harper Coleman, while filming Freakier Friday.
The actress told The New York Times: “She’s my best friend in the entire world. We see each other every single day. That’s not even an exaggeration.”
She went on to reflect on her earlier experiences with other actresses on set, and admitted that filming Mean Girls in 2004 came with some challenges.
Lohan explained that she sometimes struggled to find her place on set due to the age gap between her and some of her co-stars while filming the famous noughties chick flick.
She shared: “It was hard because Rachel McAdams was so much older. I was in school. [And] Amanda and Lacey were all hanging out. It was hard for me to find where I fit in.”
At the time, McAdams, who famously played queen bee Regina George, was 25, while Lacey Chabert was 21. Amanda Seyfried was 17 like Lohan, but it seems Lindsey still felt there was a distance between them.
Mean Girls went on to become a defining moment in Lohan’s career, and certain lines from the romcom are still referenced in pop culture two decades later.
Even Freakier Friday included a clever nod to the iconic chick flick. Early in the film, viewers meet Anna’s new fiancé Eric, who is played by Manny Jacinto. Their whirlwind romance is shown in a montage which ends with with October 3 circled on the calendar as their wedding date. Mean Girls fans will instantly recognise the date from an iconic moment in the movie.
In Mean Girls, when Lohan’s character Cady Heron starts to have a crush on a boy in her class, she narrates their first interaction, saying, “On October 3rd, he asked me what day it was.” She then turns to him on screen and says, “It’s October 3rd.” The date is now celebrated annually by fans as ‘Mean Girls Day’.

Former Apprentice star Luisa Zissman has left her fans infuriated after she revealed the harsh parenting method she used on her children after they had “p***ed her off”. The 38 year old mum of three posted a message on social media informing her followers that she had smashed her children’s iPads as a form of discipline.
Taking to Instagram, she wrote: “I could pretend it’s all roses and sparkles but today the kids pi**ed me off so much I smashed their iPads up in front of them”.
She accompanied her post with six pictures of the fractured devices.
She added: “No more tech for us, it destroys their brains, creates little monsters and makes them devils. More sports, more family time and more discipline loading!! “!

And while Luisa may have thought she would be inundated with comments by fans who respected her form of discipline, the opposite occurred as some of her 700k followers felt she paid little regard to the cost of the items.
One person said: “This upsets me. People save SO hard all year round to purchase these devices for their children”. Another person agreed saying: “No more tech for us… but you take photos (with tech) and post them to the internet (with tech)”.
However, some applauded Luisa’s discipline methods. A third person said: “I feel this so much, the amount of times I want to throw the PlayStation out the window is tempting.”
It remains unknown the cause of Louisa’s fury. The TV personality is the mother of Dixie, Indigo and Clementine.
And while Luisa is a constant user of social media, her children are not a regular part of her content.
The former Celebrity Big Brother star is married to millionaire Andrew Collins and previously revealed that she met her husband after he bid on her at an auction.
During an episode of The Mummy Diaries with Sam and Billie Faiers, Luisa is seen telling their mum Suzie: “You know I put myself up for auction the night I met Andrew.”
In disbelief, Billie then asked: “What? Is that how you met”? In the episode, Luisa attended an auction in support of her TOWIE friends.
She added: “My husband bid on me at an auction, and then I married him! You might meet your dream man”!
She then told Suzie: “You want someone that’s got a bit of life about them, you don’t want someone who needs to take Viagra”!

Luisa divorced her first husband Oliver Zissman in 2014, ending a five year marriage after she caught him cheating on her.
She started dating Andrew soon after her marriage began to crumble. In he autumn of 2014, she became engaged to Andrew.

The three Love Island finalists have spoken out about their time on the ITV dating show and how they were made to ‘ look like villains ‘ in a swipe at the editing
Toni and Cach won the Love Island 2025 summer series
This year’s Love Island finalists have taken a jab at ITV bosses, accusing them of portraying them as ‘villains’ throughout the series.
Last month, viewers tuned in to watch the 12th series of the popular dating show conclude, with Maya Jama revealing Toni Laites and Cach Mercer as this year’s champions during the live final from the villa. Toni, the first American contestant to feature in the UK version, was among the top three alongside Shakira Khan and Yasmin Pettet.
Nearly a month after their departure from the Majorcan villa, the trio have now accused ITV of painting them as ‘ villains’.

Love Island fans had previously criticised the editing of certain scenes, particularly during the much-anticipated Movie Night.
Speaking to The Sun’s Fabulous magazine, Shakira said: “Yeah, they’d never show the other side of things, which was frustrating. We constantly felt like villains. Every chance they got, they tried to kill us off”.
Toni chimed in: “During the first public vote, Shakira and I were both in the bottom. We spent weeks thinking that it was us against the world, because that’s how everyone in there made us feel.”
Despite this series being one of the more heated ones in recent memory, the women confessed that many of the Islanders genuinely didn’t get along ‘for weeks’.
Toni revealed: “A lot of us really just didn’t get along. For weeks and weeks, there were no solid couples, because no one could even stand to speak to each other”!
This follows previous revelations by the women about the villa’s ‘ frosty ‘ atmosphere. The rift amongst the female Islanders on the ITV2 programme became a hot topic for viewers, with Toni, Shakira and Yasmin clashing with the likes of Meg Moore and Helena Ford.
Chatting to i-D magazine, the trio confirmed the friction was genuine and there was frequently an uncomfortable mood in the villa. Shakira revealed: “When you come around the corner and they stop talking, you feel isolated, it feels frosty, really tense, and it’s not nice. It wasn’t a bad edit, we tried to fix it, but that was our experience, we lived it”.
Toni, who claimed victory on the programme, and Yasmin, who joined the villa as bombshells, both sensed hostility from some of the other girls.
Yasmin likened it to ‘ classic high school ‘ antics and explained she made an effort to be kind to other new bombshells when they entered the villa.
She continued: “We felt like outsiders compared to everyone else, so when bombshells would come in after that, we would befriend them-we didn’t want anyone else to feel that way”.
Shakira believes she, Toni and Yasmin were consistently upfront about their emotions in the villa, which occasionally irritated others.
They confirmed that the villa often had a ‘ frosty ‘ vibe
She explained: “If you say it how it is, and you’re honest, you’re called ‘ a b*tch’, you’re ‘ nasty’. No, I think it’s nasty to speak about someone behind their back, then rally together in groups and target them”.
Shakira connected swiftly with Toni but felt criticised by some of the other girls for how rapidly she star She was seen having a chat with the lads. She confided in Toni: “I’m not joking, getting ready then the vibes felt so off.

” So it’s not enough to like pick up on and say something about because it’s nothing that is being said, but it’s the energy. “Toni responded:” You know everyone is interested in you. “Toni eventually triumphed on the show with Cach Mercer. Shakira came second with Harry Cooksley, while Yasmin secured third place with Jamie Rhodes.
