Louise Redknapp has gone public with her new boyfriend as she rocked up with the former army officer at the Pride of Britain Awards.

The Eternal star, 48, took businessman, Drew Michael, 39, to the annual bash in London, which celebrates the nation's unsung heroes. Louise didn't pose with her man on the red carpet, but was papped with him inside the star-studded venue, looking stunning as she posed for the cameras.

Sporting a gorgeous sheer lace blouse, black bra, blazer and stilettos, the Stay star smiled at the ceremony's drinks reception as she stood alongside Drew, who looked dapper in a crisp, navy blue suit. The couple were then seen dining together at the star-studded event, which was hosted again by Countdown queen Carol Vorderman and Dancing On Ice judge, Ashley Banjo.

Later on in the evening, the pair made their way through the excitable crowd at London's Grosvenor House after a memorable night supporting the best of Britain.

Louise and Drew were first spotted together last month when the mum-of-two stepped out with the CEO after taking him to Jimmy Carr's birthday bash. A source close to Louise told OK! magazine: "It took a while to find him but she’s finally happy and comfortable to be seen with him."

The singer is also said to be "really relying" on Drew after Eternal cancelled a planned reunion due to an alleged difference in views on transgender rights. A representative for Louise, who went on to have a successful solo career, confirmed reports she had left the reunion due to a clash in LGBTQ+ community values with former bandmates, Easther and Vernie Bennett.

However, while Louise may be leaning on Drew for support, it's also been reported the singer's friends are worried about her new relationship, amid concerns over how things allegedly ended in Drew's last relationship.

The Naked star sent fans into a frenzy when she was snapped with new boyfriend six years after divorcing former footballer, Jamie Redknapp. Louise looked happy as she strolled through London's Soho with the military CEO with sources claiming the singer is "really excited" about her new relationship.

However, they also said they're 'concerned' for Louise in the wake of Drew's former reported relationship. A source said: "Drew didn't behave in the best way in a former relationship – he left one girl in particular feeling hurt. "It's good news that he's happy dating Louise, but there is a worry she could end up heartbroken," reports Closer magazine.

But speaking on Loose Women in September, the singer admitted she had been on her "own for a long time". Opening up about her relationship, she said: "I'm very happy, he's great and lovely. It's really nice, it's been a really long time for me. I've been on my own for a long time and it's lovely to have met someone who makes me so happy."

Louise also spoke exclusively with the Mirror a few hours after being spotted with Drew for the first time publicly, saying: "It’s so difficult with your personal life... it’s all good. I’ve got nothing else to say on it, everything about it has already been written."
