Louise Redknapp posted a cryptic message on her Instagram stories this evening, following former father-in-law Harry Redknapp’s brutal divorce jibe.
The Eternal songstress, 45, shared a quote, which read: “Whatever. I’m still fabulous”, and wrote alongside it: “Yep, you are.”
Louise’s elusive post comes after former father-in-law and I’m a Celebrity…. Get Me Out of Here! favourite Harry Redknapp made a cutting divorce jibe aimed at Louise and son Jamie Redknapp, 46.

In the clip shared to Jamie’s Instagram page, the hunky footy star is seen saying he was debating going on Strictly Come Dancing, a show that Louise famously excelled on.
Before he finishes, Harry interrupts his son and jokes: “One thing’s for sure Jamie, you won’t be getting divorced if you go on there.”
A red-faced Jamie and footballer Alex Scott, who also joined him on the show, burst into fits of laughter.
Jamie then fired back at his dad and said: “Keep it light dad.”
Jamie and mother of his two children Louise famously got divorced in early 2017 not long after her turn on the programme in 2016.

At the time, Louise hinted that the marriage breakdown could have been in part due to her time on the dancing programme, as it saw her catapulted back into the limelight again.
She soon bagged parts in West End shows Chicago and Dolly Parton’s 9 to 5: The Musical as well of having her own solo tour, off the back of her Strictly success.
Speaking to Stella magazine, Louise said: “Sometimes I felt like crying because deep down inside me this voice was screaming ‘This is what I have been missing!'”

The couple, who share sons Charlie and Beau, got divorced after being married just shy of 20 years.
Like son Jamie, Harry, 73, has also expressed a desire in giving Strictly Come Dancing a whirl.
Speaking on the Sky One show on a previous occasion, he recalled he got involved with the early stages of signing up.
He shared: “I said [to show bosses], ‘I’m not a very good dancer’ and so they sent a girl down to dance with me.”

After establishing that the producers had actually booked a room at Harry’s local golf club, Meyrick Park, he told them: “I can’t go and dance there, my mates are all playing golf there today, how can I turn up dancing with a 21-year-old girl?”
Harry said that ultimately he decided to go on I’m a Celebrity.. Get Me Out of Here! instead, as they offered him more money.
“What happened was I’m A Celebrity came and offered me twice as much money so I went there instead!”, he revealed.
