Louise Redknapp worries about empty nest as sons stay home

Pop singer Louise Redknapp told BBC Radio 2 host Sara Cox that she is uneasy about the prospect of her two sons, Charley (22) and Beau (17), eventually leaving the family home. She said she "doesn't know what I'd do" and enjoys having their girlfriend Mia stay over, describing her as an "extra child".

Redknapp, who married former footballer Jamie Redknapp in 1998 and separated in 2017, noted that her appearance on Strictly Come Dancing helped revive her music career after a long break to raise her children. She reflected on the emotional impact of an empty nest while still balancing her renewed professional life.
