Louise Redknapp has begun on a completely new career in light of a fall out with two of her Eternal bandmates, after reportedly being left 'stunned' by their perspectives on LGTBQ+ rights.

In September, the 49-year-old singer pulled out of the 90s group's reunion tour that had been planned for next year over her objections to sisters Easther and Vernie Bennett's transphobic views. The siblings refused to perform a number of LGBTQ+ pride events on the tour objected to supporting the Trans community, much to the dismay of Louise and fellow Eternal singer, Kelle Bryan.

The Strictly Come Dancing finalist and Kelle publicly distanced themselves from the sisters following the spat, with both stars taking to their respective social medias to deliver messages of solidarity with the transgender community.

Having already proven herself as a talented performer, Louise has now set her sights on building her own personal beauty company. The mum-of-two has established Nakd Beauty Ltd, which will reportedly sell perfume and cosmetics, after previously launching Wild About Beauty Ltd in 2010. The retail toiletries company was sold for just £75,000 in 2017, however, after being placed in liquidation over huge debts.

Her new entrepreneurial venture, which names Louise as an active director, was registered as a company on July 3. It remains unclear when the fragrance and makeup brand will launch its products. Louise has also recently gone public with new boyfriend Drew Michael, six years after splitting from ex-husband Jamie Redknapp. The I'm A Celebrity star went Instagram official with her beau on Tuesday, much to the excitement of her adoring fanbase.

It was announced in September that Eternal had planned to reunite for a tour in 2024, only for Louise and Kelle to pull out when they discovered Easther and Vernie were refusing to play certain shows. Louise's publisher, Simon Jones, later told the BBC, "This was because the duo [Easther and Vernie] felt that the gay community was being hijacked by the trans community and they do not support this."

"Louise is a huge supporter and ally of the LGBTQ+ community and both herself and Kelle told the duo they would not work with anyone who held these views, and as such the reunion as a four would not be going ahead," he told Sky News in a separate statement. "The team behind the proposed Eternal reunion are gay - including management, PR and tour promoter, and neither myself nor any of the team would work with artists who held such views about the trans community."
