Louise said: “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.
“I didn’t want to continue running around after everyone else, and occasionally promoting a yogurt or doing a little TV presenting job.
“I wanted to sing, I wanted to perform… And that is when the s*** hit the fan.”
The Strictly star also revealed that the marriage made her feel as though she had lost her identity and added being single made her come to terms with “who” she really is.
