Louise Redkanpp has revealed her personal regret over taking part in BBC’s Strictly Come Dancing as she admits it wasn’t worth putting her family through the heartache.

The singer-turned Strictly Come Dancing 2016 winner has opened up on her regret over competing in the celebrity dance show – four years after lifting the prestigious glitterball trophy.

Now Louise, 46, has admitted in her tell-all autobiography You’ve Got This that she regrets ever entering the TV competition and confessed it wasn’t “worth the heartache”. She wrote, ‘If I’d done the show four years earlier, this wouldn’t have happened. I wouldn’t have walked away from my marriage. It simply wasn’t worth putting anyone I loved or love through the heartache.’

Louise, who was married to former footballer Jamie Redknapp has two sons, Charley, 16, and Beau, 12, but she left her 20-year marriage after taking part in the show, with her splitting from her husband the following year. At the time Louise claimed ‘I became a sort of Stepford wife – I lost myself’  as she looked to pursue a career for herself.

Louise, who was partnered with professional dancer Kevin Clifton, admitted the show did help give her a “new path” which led to more career opportunities but still had a regret.

She explained, ‘I still wish I’d done things differently because I feel like I hurt a lot of people and I’ll always be sorry for that. I felt like certain people had my back, and, in hindsight this wasn’t really the case. I was so scared about going back to normal life and losing what I’d achieved on the show.’

Louise went on to star in Cabaret and 9 to 5 the Musical on London’s West End after her Strictly win and aside from launching her own homeware range with George at Asda, she also released her first solo album in two decades Heavy Love and had a tour planned just before the Coronavirus pandemic hit last March.

How to cook turkey crown: The best turkey crown recipe

Image
A turkey crown makes a handsome centrepiece on the Christmas table and is the ideal turkey option for smaller festive gatherings. A turkey crown is a whole turkey with the legs and usually the wings removed, so just the white breast meat is left on the bone. It is also possible to buy a deboned stuffed turkey crown where the bones are removed making it extra easy to carve. Both are an ideal choice for a smaller Christmas fest as there is less meat. And although very similar, we do find a turkey crown a bit simpler to cook than a whole turkey. As when cooking an entire bird there can be a difference in cooking times between the light and dark meat. Turkey crowns are readily available from supermarket and butchers in the weeks leading up to Christmas and Thanksgiving. They will often come adorned with an attractive bacon lattice or herby decoration to make them look extra special – and to save you the job of dressing it yourself! Per kilo turkey crowns are generally more expensive...
